[comp.sys.amiga] drive malfunction?

reyes@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu (Alex Reyes) (01/11/90)

My friend brought a new amiga 500 two weeks ago and is now
getting a 226 error with any disk he puts in the drive. The
manual states that this means there is no disk in the drive.
This would lead me to believe that it could be a drive problem.
Could it possibly be anything else?  
Please e-mail ANY suggestions or possible solutions to this problem.
I would sincerely appreciate any help. Thanks
