Disk read error
Disk read error
Hello guys,
I have plenty of originals disks game for Atari St.
90% of them doesn't work (read error).
I tried to format some of the disk without success. it failed during the process.
Is their any software to fix my disks or all to bin?

Re: Disk read error
I'd rather think of a drive issue, did you try recapping and exxos's dma fix (new cpu)?
btw did you try cleaning the drive?

Re: Disk read error
heads on floppy ?
I think the disks are demagnetized.
not sure if there any software to magnetize them again.

Re: Disk read error
yes, if you are trying to read floppies on 3 floppy drives which have not being serviced then its not a good test.
I hardly ever had any failed floppies, even after 30 years. So makes me think its a machine problem. You could send me a couple of floppies to test here if you want.

Re: Disk read error
I think I did not store these disk into a correct area during the last years.

Re: Disk read error
if they have been stored in a damp location then they likely gone moldy. have you taken a floppy apart and inspected the media ?
