Floppy Disk Errors

If you are getting lots of floppy disk error messages during file save or

load, your floppy drive probably needs cleaning. This is done using a

3.5” cleaning diskette, commonly available at computer or office supply

stores. Follow the instructions on the cleaning diskette, then place it in

the floppy drive and press DISK, then 7 (read the disk). This will cause

the disk’s read/write head to make contact with the cleaning paper inside

the cleaning diskette. Repeat this process about 20 times.

To guard against future disk errors, clean your floppy drive every 2 or 3

months. If you still get disk errors after the cleaning, your floppy drive

may need replacement. This is not unusual considering the age of your

MPC60 and the heavy use of the floppy drive. To replace the drive, call

your local Akai service center.

If after cleaning or replacing your disk drive you still have trouble reading

certain old disks, it may be because your disks are old or were saved to

from a dirty or worn-out disk drive, causing the information on the disk to

be weak. In this case, it may be impossible to retrieve the disk

information.
