playing some of my first pc games on this 286. Duke nukem 1
Oh yes, I remember Duke Nukem. Many, many hrs of it. I wonder if I still have that on a floppy upstairs? :smileyvery-happy:
Would a low-level format be able to help in any way?
I honestly don’t know. But if it doesn’t work you can always reformat. GD&R :smileyvery-happy:
But before trying the low-level format try reformatting using different blocksizes. If you’re currently using 8 MB try 4 MB. If that doesn’t help try 16 MB. I don’t know what the initial size was, maybe someone with more knowledge than I can step in and give a clue. And try diskpart rather than the standard Windows format option. Let us know what you try and how things turn out.
-update-
Checked out that link you posted. It appears to be for hard drives only.
HDD Low Level Format Tool is a utility for low-level hard disk drive formatting.
So I don’t think it will help with the SanDisk drive.
