Dear all,
How do I actually low-level format a floppy disk in an USB-Floppy-Disk-Drive?
I tried as with usual drives, using fdformat:
[~]>fdformat /dev/sdd Could not determine current format type: Invalid argument
But setting the format failed as well: [~]>setfdprm -p /dev/sdd 1440/1440 ioctl: Invalid argument
Next up scsifmt:
[~]>./scsifmt /dev/sdd fmt scsifmt: non-sense ioctl error
Didn't work too well, too. Any ideas?
