- I'm having trouble with my floptical drive. All I want to do is delete
- my files on the floptical disks so that I can give the drive and
- floppies to a good home.
-
- I can read my files and directories just fine, but any attempt to write or
- delete files causes AmigaDOS to decide the disk has been removed. When I
- use HDToolBox to try to write the filesystem parameters, it gives me:
-
- "Error 29 on write!"
-
- AmigaDOS error codes start after 100. I'm using an A3000 running OS3.1.
- There's nothing in any documentation that refers to HDToolBox error codes.
- My disks aren't write-protected. I will happily give my floptical drive
- and 140 Meg of storage to anyone who can show me how to delete the files
- on my disks.
