If the floppy disk drive formats properly in MS-DOS but does not format in Windows, Windows or a program within Windows is preventing the floppy drive from working. Invalid drive specification - Verify the floppy drive is configured properly in BIOS setup.

If the disk is not write protected, try another floppy disk. I have even tried a FloppyEmu as the internal drive and as an external drive and get the same errors. I have tried a second 1.44MB disk drive and get the same errors. When I try to format a 1.44MB disk I get an Initialization Failed error. I can sometimes read an application or formatted disk, but most times after opening a file or writing a file to the disk the Finder shows an error that the disk "" cannot be found and the disk icon disappears from the desktop while the disk is still in the drive. Use Stuffit Expander on any Mac to unpack this file, then copy everything onto a freshly formatted floppy. I have a 1.44MB superdrive as the internal floppy drive. Utilities disk in Mac Stuffit format (950K). I have a Mac SE/30 with Rominator II and SCSI2SD drive.
