Most Apple ][ disk were boot
disks.
I
don't think that you can't boot from the external floppy drive.
What I would do is
buy a 5¼ disk cleanar. Put the disk in the
floppy drive and turn the Apple on.
Do
this 2 to 3 times.
Try
your disks again. Al least you should get a different error.
If
not, maybe you could try those disks on another apple ][ (if possible,
obviously...)

Hi,
I got
an apple//c computer at a yard sale and have been slowly adding on
to it
thru e-bay. When I bought the computer it didn't have any disks
with it
so I bought some used ones over the internet. My problem now is
when I
insert a disk into the internal or external drive the monitor
keeps
saying" check disk drive" and nothing happens. When I
first turn it on
the power light lights and I hear a beep then the disk
use light comes
on and the drive motor spins then stops and the disk
light goes out and
then the message on the screen reads"check disk
drive". Can someone
please tel me what I'm doing wrong. By he way I
have two computers and
they both do the same thing. The software is the
systems utilities,apple
basic, apple at play and apple introduction so
they are made for this
computer. Could the disks be bad? Please help,
Thanks Ray
