Formatting a disc

07 October 2009, 21:43

Hi all

I want to create a blank ADF and i came across this guide http://ale.emuunlim.com/guides/adf-blank.shtml

However when i load my blank ADF into drive DF:0 and click ok, it does not do what the guide says it will do, it comes up to insert workbench back into drive 0

Any ideas anyone??

Simply use two disk drives. Put WB in DF0 and your blank disk in DF1. Then again if you create a 'standard' disk with WinUAE, it's already formatted.

Hmm, it show up as 'Empty'. How did you create your blank disk?

DiscImage is bundled with 4 blank floppy images.

The one you want to "Un-GZ" (unzip, so to speak) is empty_880K_ffs_intl.gz.
