By now I hope you have discovered how to format a disk you should read the book that came with the 1541 drive. Also try running the programs on the demo disk, the C-64 wedge will make some of the more cumbersom commands like formatting a disk much easyer. As far as additional publications the C-64 Programmers Reference Guide is good for serious programing and better understanding of the C-64. A good magizine is "RUN". I subscribe to it for my 10 yr old son and I find it to be informative to both of us. It covers reviews of available software from games to utilities and also prints listings of programs that you can enter yourself. These programs are games, educational, and utility. There is also a section called magic tricks that users write in about little tricks and short programing routines that they have found to be usefull. Good luck.
