ha ha, this makes no sense WHATSOEVER, but i took a HD, formatted it in the amiga as a pc disk. The pc wouldn't read it. Put the tape over, and TADA, it works! thanks guys :-D i'm really happy
Hmm, it makes perfect sense.
Your A1200's drive can't distinguish between DD and HD disks, but your PC can.
If you format a HD disk in your A1200, it'll be recognised and formatted as DD. The PC will try to read it as a HD disk, unless you cover the second hole (which is the HD indicator hole).
Good to hear you got it working..
