Drives will not format after using crossdos :-(
« on: July 04, 2004, 04:52:38 PM »
Hey all after using crossdos my amiga won't format any floppies, it says could not format cylinder 1, I know for a fact the drives and disks are fine because I've used them recently, what could have gone wrong? :-(

I think maybe it could be just my A1200 showing it's age, anyone else had a problem like this? Kinda frustrating because I just spent a lot of money on the old girl and it's all going horribly wrong :-(

I used DD disks all the time, and even after a re-boot with all peripherals removed it just says cannot format cylinder 1. My internal drive is faulty but I have 2 external drives that have always worked before :-(
