[comp.sys.amiga] Floppy Drive problems

tjhayko@THUNDER.LAKEHEADU.CA (01/12/91)

I seem to be having a problem with my second floppy drive  I  re-
cently  bought.   It is now refusing to write to any of my disks.
My DF0: works fine.  Does anyone know if this could be any  other
problem  other  than one with the drive?  In either case, could I
fix it myself?  Thanks in advance.

PS. The drive is used, so I can't just return it.

	Is the SYSTEM refusing to write to the disk?  Ex: it thinks disk
	is write-protected.   Or does the system think it is successfully
	making the write?

	Does it format a disk properly?

	I'll need a bit more info before I could be of much help...

The system thinks that the write completes correctly, but nothing is actually
written.  It does not appear to be formatting a disk correctly.


Thanks
