Post by korogpa80_usr »

hi
I have downloaded pa80 factory data but unable to create backup floppy disk .
I get this error when I click on the executable disk 1 .
Pa80_res_v3_dsk1.exe
windows error N.5 Access is denied.
Disk error n " 69 on track head 0

any one has copy of rescue disk content to share? or knows the work around ?

I'm assuming you are trying to transfer data from a computer to a floppy disk and it's failing? If so,,Have you tried to write other files to that very same floppy disk?

I did read that one fix might be to remove disk then try to write to it,,
It will pop up,,*floppy not found* Now insert the floppy disk, and click retry.
you never know?

What you have downloaded is a "zipped" file. You will need to unzip it and, on doing so, you should find that it contains upgrade instructions (PDF) and five sets of data.

You will need five formatted HD floppy disks to which you should transfer the said data. Then follow the upgrade instructions.

I am speaking from memory here so I hope this helps.

Good Luck

Don
