when i try to format a floppy disk in Windows it says 'unable to complete format', so i tried it in a DOS window and get 'invalid media - track 0 bad. Disk unusable'.
Right, so i tried the disk in my other PC - the disk is fine.
I tried a different floppy drive, tested it in my other PC - its fine.
I checked the BIOS, its set right.
So that leaves, the cable, floppy controller and software, yes?
does this sound like the problem could be any of those?
PS i don't want any replies about how floppys are old and outdated, i'm taking an IT course and need to know this stuff
