The solution is probably very easy, but i cant find it...
i want to make a dsk file of my msx floppys, but both my pc's won't read the disk. I get the "format error" (windows wants to format the disk).
Can anybody help to pass this error, so i can make dsk-files of my old floppy with disk manager??
Thx |

It is possible that the disks: - have aged and show loss of data
- are single sided and therefore not readable on a PC (in WIndows)
- are copy-protected and use some malformed tracks or sectors
