Hello,
Today I bought a 3.5 and 5.25 Disk drive cleaning Kit from
RadioShack(they even had new 5.25 disks). I am hoping that they will make
it so I can load this Dragon Wars game and format a pack of unused disks
someone gave me.
My problem is I have no idea how I should go about using the cleaning
kit. It says to make the drive run for 30 seconds for both sizes (I think
I read something about no more than 20seconds with Apple 3.5 for alignment
reasons)..I was wondering if there might be a program to make the drive
access the disks for a long enought period to clean the heads.
