I have been having issues with copying data from my XP computer using a 1.2mb Teac FD 55GFR, to a floppy that was formatted in my IBM XT unit. The formatting parameters I used for my 360kb floppy are
format a:/8 and it formats and reads fine in the XT, but my XP machine doesn't know what to do with it. when I try to copy from my XP machine to the disk, an error message saying "sector not found" comes up, stopping me from completeing the transfer.
The wierd thing is I successfully transfered a txt file, but the IBM XT goes into a "data error, Abort, Retry Fail" message.
Do I have to go and track down a 360kb floppy for my Win98 machine?
