Floppy a flop?

2001-10-13 Thread Hans-Peter Zeedijk 



I 've little problem with those damned PC's! Both 
my PC's have problems with 720Kb floppy's. I use Windblows 98second eruption. I 
want to put diskimages and other programs on floppy's to be used on MSX, but 
when writing to the floppy's I get bleu screens "Error writing to disk" Anyone 
knows this problem? At the moment the only thing I can do is shutdown to MS-DOS 
and then write them to floppy. I have a 3d old 486 with Windows 95 on it. On 
that one MSX floppy reading/writing goes fine, but that one is not on my 
homenetwork and has no Internet.

Please?

Hi,

I have no problem at all with reading and writing under Windows 95 and 98 SE
of 720K floppies on all my PC's. My favorite progam is diskmanager
http://www.need.it/~rumsx/software.html, and the explorer works fine too
Even 360K work fine with diskmanager.

Make sure to format the floppies in the MSX, and if you use HD disk (works
for me) cover the hd hole.

I've been successful at formatting the floppies using fmsx-dos, copying
programs using windows explorer (or just straight extracting lzh files onto
the floppy, using dos version of LHA), then reading them on a real MSX.
Worked for me 100% of the time, without any additional software.
