📁 Verbatim DataLife High Density Microdisks MF-2HD, 3.5 inch, Pack of 10 Diskettes Review

Should have read the 1 star review. None of the hard drives work. Cannot be formatted. I know it's not my machine because other drives work fine.

The disks I received were gray to answer the question "which color". I use them on my recently purchased Sony Digital Mavica MVC-FD73. The camera itself can format drives, which was good because I wasn't sure if Windows 10 can do that. Windows 10 didn't give me an option to format, but a google search which I found about the command line helped. I used Wikihow; Format the floppy disk.
