Tempest Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 My MSX 2+ computer won't format disks. It seems to read them ok (I actually only have one disk at the moment to test it on), but when I try the CALL FORMAT command and select a format option it just sits there and spins and spins. I don't know how long it should take to format a disk, but I let it sit there for over 5 min and it was still spinning. I'm guessing something is wrong with the drive (like a belt), but it reads ok so I'm confused as to what it could be. Any ideas?

Seob Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I have no idea, but you can format the floppy using a pc with floppydrive and format it as a 720kb disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
