--- Just aquired an 8600. Everything's great EXCEPT the little floppy drive. I put a diskette in and I get "Diskette is unreadable, would you like to reinitialize??". I say yes and it pops out the disket and then says "Initialization Failed" Any ideas what's going on?? Thanks >>Big Dave
Is the locking tab on the diskette in the lokced or open position ?
Is the disk an HD or DD floppy ? You may be selecting an inappropriate format.
Is the disk in good physical condition ?
Or you may need a new drive....
