Something is distinctly wrong with my A500.. Whenever i try to format a
new disk, the format procedure always starts up, when after formatting
the first track and trying to validate it, the computer tells me that
the disk is unreadable.. I know that the disks are not bad, they are
DS/DD..etc. and work fine on other amigas.  
I can go around this by copying blank-preformatted disks onto my non-for
matted disks.. but that is a real time waster as i only have the
internal and not another external drive.
Can anyone tell me how to go about formatting my disks ?
 
I'm beginning to wish i stayed on the IBM, being immune to these
problems.
