I hope someone can help or advise me... I know it is a bit rude for a newbie to simply dive in with questions, but I have not been able to find a suitable answer anywhere.

I have a Ketron X1 and the hard drive has failed.

I have a replacement, which has been installed.

But now on boot, the new hard drive "spins up", the floppy will not do anything on boot up, and the screen simply come up with "disk int error".

Does the replacement hard drive need to be specially formatted - it is currently FAT32.

Would a disk failure also mean the disk controller board also fail....?

Has anyone got a list of hard drives that are working and compaitalble with the X1.

Thanks in advance.
