- Hi!
-
- I've got a Ricoh 5030E Rewritable Optical disk-drive, and I've got some
- questions concerning it, so I hope that there is somebody else out there
- using such a device on their Amiga.
-
- Problem: I've got several disks, both 590MB & 650MB that works
- perfectly. However with the *one* pre-formatted disk I have
- is not possible to re-format or write a new RDB.
-
- The disk in question is a 3M 590MB type, with 512kb sectors
- and ( I belive ) formatted for MS-DOS .... :/
-
- When trying to write an RDB to the disk from HDTools
- I get an "ERROR 25".
-
- Questions: Can I use this disk, should I just ship it back to the
- supplier, and demand that they swap it for an unformatted ?
-
-
- Help! :)
