I really should've clicked quote for gregor's post, but I'm too lazy. Start --> Programs --> MS-DOS Prompt C:\> format a: /s /u INSERT DISK Stuff.......... Type a disk label if you want one (11 letters) Format another? (y/n): n C:\> exit I'm quite familiar with this having to do it about a gillion times fixing my PC. I made about ten bootdisks. Then I gave up and reformatted my hard drive. |

newer models do seem more unreliable to me. anyway this is offtopic. except for the part that your floppydrive might be broken |

try formating disk first. Menu: start->run type: format a: (or whatever your floppy drive name is) after this try run the abandonia boot disk again. if that doesn't work then try formating boot disk by following order: format a: /u if that doesen't work try to check your disks on some other computer to see if they really are all corrupted. if they are not corrupted then you need to buy a new disk drive (it's common thing that stops working). i already changed mine on one of my computers. Note: You can create your own system boot disk by typing: format a: /s All this wont help much if you are using WIN XP. |

treid changing the disk? maybe it's corrupted. Alos saying "it wont work" doesn't really give us much to start with. |
