And unfortunate no go.... i used rawwrite.... it said it was successful. Flipped the switch on the floppy disk and popped it in. Sucks it in, spins the drive, and spits it out. then an x replaces the ? for a few seconds. I have to say that now I believe the floppy drive is just no good anymore. And I am done spending money on this. I am on a very limited budget and can't spend money on getting a cool old computer running again.
if anyone has any other free suggestions feel free to share.... also, how on earth do you remove the floppy and its plastic holder properly? I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the power supply.
