Hi all i am having problems with formatting my 880k floppys, they are brand new disks but whenever i format them under workbench i get errors saying it cant read cylinders so i ran x-copy pro and im able to format them under that just curious to know if anyone has had similiar problems?


I had the same issue,  it was dirty floppy drive heads and cheap floppy disks.
Get another batch of floppy disks just incase and a floppy drive head cleaner.

Read this post its useful for beginners.
