Hi im looking for a very cheap 40-80meg hard drive for my CMD HD40. i think i may have a drive problem, as when i try to do the LLFORMAT, the drive is spinning, but i get the ERROR WRITE 5 showing, ive put in a new BootChip i got from the USA, the newest version 2.8,my old one was 2.7. I think the Drive is a 40-meg MFM i have installed, but not 100% if it is MFM, i need to check.

When i turn on all light flash and scrool, then i just get left with the Power light and the 2 Activity lights bottom on, top flashing. it when i try the format i get the error light flashing.. Any idears, is it the drive tho spins needs replaceing. if so if anyone has a spare one in the UK and wants to sell it to me cheap, please PM me. It has to be VERY CHEAP inc P+P Costs.

Thanks Steve

i think it's mfm, will open up case later/tomorrow, as not filling to well today, and check the inside and the number of pins required.
Thanks
