Formatting Diskettes in the SuperDisk Drive
When formatting a diskette in the SuperDisk drive while in DOS mode, you may
encounter the following error messages:
!
For 720-KB and 1.44-MB diskettes the error message states
“Invalid media or Track 0 bad – disk unusable,”
“Extended Error 1g - format terminated.”
!
For a 120-MB SuperDisk the error message states
“Parameters not supported by drive.”
When in DOS mode, the message text may vary. These error messages indicate that the
diskette you are attempting to format is write-protected. Simply write-enable the
diskette before formatting.
