Hi,
After it being in a cupboard for 10 years, I've just picked up my old A1200 from my mum's house with the intention to wipe the harddisk and re-install workbench 3.0.
When I attempt to format the two partitions (using Workbench 3.0 Format tool), the process stops with a 'Couldn't format cylinder xxx' message.
Can anyone give me pointers as to how I get around this?
I can vaguely remember the disk having bad sectors when I originally bought it. I must have got around the problem them but haven't a clue now.
Grateful for any help.
Cheers,
Rich
