DF0: Unreadable

[Phantom]

Yes, that's right. I've got that message everytime I insert a disk into it.

All started when I inserted a game disk which has some read errors, the disk drive whistled like a bird. I ejected the disk and reinsert it again but I get this message from now on. And the worst thing is that I get this message in every floppy I insert.

I don't know if my disk drive went RIP, is there any possibility to be the cable connected to? (because I've heard that)

Mine went through a stage of only being able to read - any writing would render the disk useless.

I have this problem when I tried to format a disk. I got a "seek failure" message all the time.

It made a very high-pitched screeching noise, right?

Well, I have to count 2 disk drives for me then. The first one was a Chinon HD for my A4000 and went-off(?) when I inserted a game disk. High-pitched noise as you said.

So I've bought a brand new disk drive for my A4000. I inserted a game disk (Uninvited to be precise) and I saw the icon. I tried to double-click on it to see its contents and I got some sounds (like the NDOS sound) and then I got a requester about read errors. I never had problems with these errors. I tried to eject the disk and reinsert it and from now on I got this message "DF0: Unreadable", in every floppy I insert. :-(
