After messing around with it, I put that first disk back in, only to get the same responses about the already formatted disk. This time, when windows said "need to format" I just clicked cancel and went straight to a command prompt, only to be told that the device doesn't support that format. That particular game had 1 720K disk and several 1.44M disks. Here is where things start to get a little different. Disk formats, WinImage writes the image, it works just fine. No problem, grew up on DOS, open a DOS window and use the format command.
The first disk I put in immediately popped a message up about it needing to be formatted (I found this strange as it didn't do it with my 1.44M disks, even the ones that were Amiga formatted.) So I try to format it, only to receive a message that windows cannot format that type of disk. Now, some of my images are 720k floppies, which isn't a problem as I actually have more 720k disks than I do 1.44M disks. Also, so I could continue archiving the disks I didn't get to before the floppy on my main system stopped working (haven't had a working internal floppy drive on my main system for about 10 years now.) I'll have to find, unpack, and set up my Kryoflux to get the 5.25" disks archived, but that's another subject. It isn't exactly a bug, it's just a little strange (to me at least.) I just got a USB floppy drive (well a couple of weeks ago,) so I could take the some of the disk images I made years ago of some of my collection and put them back on floppy for use in my new (can I call it new?) vintage system.
