  • Error with WinTRDFormatting from a disk with WinTRD works. But when I write back a TRD file then it gives an error on track 80. I use 3 1/2 Zoll disks with 1,44 MB. …

    Try using real 720K DD disks, as 1.44M HD disks are unreliable for double-density formats. Or if that doesn't help then try maybe writing the disk using [url="http://simonowen.com/samdisk/]SAMdisk[/url] instead.
