Bad or Changed Medium Disc 3

Post by handyandy69 »

Hi, having an odd issue with a newly adapted Miracle Systems Dual-drive unit with a Gotek drive as drive 1.

I'm trying to copy the contents of a floppy disk in drive 2 onto a disk image on the Gotek as drive one. So, plugged it all in, Drives first, then QL. Got the Trump card to initialise and then pressed F2 (I can see that better on my LCD). Typed TK2_EXT to start Toolkit 2 and then entered WCOPY FLP2_ TO FLP1_ to copy the disk contents over to the Gotek.

The first file is copied across but then I get the message "DISK 3 READ/WRITE FAILED BAD OR CHANGED MEDIUM"

I've tried it with a different floppy disk but get the same result. Any ideas of what might be wrong or what i'm doing wrong.

Cheers,


Andy.

What media image is inserted into the Gotek?
Is it formatted?

It's a 720k Disk image created with QemuLator. It had been formatted before doing the WCOPY for the first time. I seem to be able to copy files over individually but not using WCOPY
