FND Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I was trying to load my "Deep Space" game (original Disk) last night, It has two game Disks, They self boot from the disk. The first one loaded fine but when asked for Disk B it never loaded further ? I tried a few times and nothing from the second disk I did a re-boot and then tried to look at the disk using the "show disk option" could not read the disks and got the message "disk may have corrupt data" or something like that, now neither will load ? Disk was loading fine until I tried looking at it from the my ST Desk top so I fear I made a mistake trying to look at it. Anyone know of a way to fix or rewrite the disk ? Thanks in advance Dennis load ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppera Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Most likely old floppies are the problem. You can DL the game from some site (planetemu.net), and write it to floppy, for instance with Floppy Imager. It is normal that can not open Deep Space (or see files) - it is bootable floppy, with own loader. Edited November 3, 2008 by ppera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I will try and make a new Disk from the DL, thanks again I kinda figured Deep Space was not a viewable disk but I figured I would give it a try and coincidenaltly after I tried is when it stopped loading, thought maybe there was some sort of copy protection that would kick in if you tried to read the disk Thanks FND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
