Disk Drive problem?

"nothing happens". What does it mean? What is exactly happening? Is it like the disk is ignored? Or something else?

in basic, try to type FILES

What is the game you are trying to run anyway?

Do you have a fresh disk? Try to format it with CALL FORMAT

First try what I wrote with a fresh disk to see whether the drive works.

If formatting is successful, you should try the FILES command and SAVE and LOAD a basic program.

If that all works, your drive is probably OK.

Uh, just type

10 CLS
20 PRINT "HELLO WORLD!"

then save it with

SAVE "HELLO.BAS"

if you type FILES and it shows your "HELLO.BAS", it's an indication nothing appears to be wrong with the drive. Also, try loading it with

LOAD "HELLO.BAS"

and run it with

RUN

or

RUN "HELLO.BAS"

and if it prints the text and says Ok or, anyway, gives the prompt, then it should be working fine.
Do you have some other games on disk which you can test of if they work?
Because, if other games work normally, you'd better seek out for another specimen of Snatcher I guess.

Snatcher should boot from the start. For the test we suggested you don't need 'other disk games'. Just a fresh/unused diskette. One you can erase without losing stuff.
