I've heard that the geometries are disabled in windows since 2k, but can be re-enalbed somehow. Now to my question: will Reactos support to format them? and what must be done for XP to format them via context menu as it doesn't display any format options. As iv'e said: retro hardware just rocks! I've got also some raw formatted ones missing any file system I then tried to backup the content off all floppies and could without any reading error. I went crazy when i read the timestamp of the files, they're from 1993. I reconnect it to my lab pc and after just a half second it displayed me the content of the floppies. But by hocking it up to power and command it to spin endlessly i was able with the help of my osciloscope to recalibrate the head and the zero-track light switch. But 2 weeks ago I found a box with 10 floppies on the attic and was too curios if i can still read them.įirst try was of course futile as now the drive is fubar. I kept an old 5.25 floppy drive on the shelf now for at least 10 years and have dismantled and rebuild it several times.
