I get a message saying "Not A DOS Disk" when I try to access the floppy drive on a A1200. It could be that a "mount" command, or a file was wiped out. Can anyone help? Bob Campbell Clover, SC

Bob, >Not A DOS Disk Usually this error message appears, when the Amiga cannot read the boot sectors of the disk or these sectors has the wrong contents in it. If the computer could read this disk before, it is now corrupted. You may then try a program like "DiskSalv". Perhaps it can recover your data again. If this message appear, if you insert a disk from which you are 100 per cent sure that it is intact, then the disk drive is defective :(( Erich
