Can you reformat high density disks on the PCjr?

Post by Tyrop »

I took 4 old boxes of 5.25 high density disks that my office was throwing away. THey are formatted in high density . When I tried to reformat a few on the PCjr, I got a track 0 bad error. Is there no way to use these even as low density disks?

Very informative, thank you, I had actually read that page a while ago but had forgotten the part about the HD disks. Now to search for someone selling DS DD diskettes....
