Not reading my floppy disk

I got MPC 2000xl. When I try to Format Disk It says 'No Disk!!'. I don't know whats wrong. Mpc floppy disk drive is broken or it's something wrong with floppy disk MF-2HD.
Please help me.

Are you formatting the disks on a computer or on the MPC? You could try formatting it on a computer and then again in the MPC, i can't really think of what else you could easily do. Get new floppies and try them? I mean are the disks you're using new-ish or are they old as [beep]?

I would say the problem is most likely one of these things: bad floppy disks, messed up disk drive, bad connection from disk drive to MPC (easily fix-able if you're willing to open your MPC up, not too difficult just find a tutorial), or you may just need to format the disks differently somehow.

Try these things and what other people are recommending and tell us what happens. Also if you have the money i would highly suggest a card reader for your MPC, i used floppies for a while but flash cards are just so much more reliable and easy. And its not like floppies make your beats sound better, they're just appealing IMO because they're old and retro. But i got tired of the problems they cause and after about 8 months had to switch to a card reader. I would look into the them (the card readers), they're not too pricey and its like 2-4 gb vs 3mb. But i mean stick with what works for you.

Did the floppy drive ever work since you've had the MPC? If not, then I would suggest you open the case on your MPC and make sure the cables are plugged in. You don't say whether or not the floppy drive lights up when you insert a disk or spins at all. If not, the power cable could be unplugged inside. If it does light up and spin but not recognize any disks, then it either has an unplugged ribbon cable inside, needs a good cleaning or it is just plain broken.

I've never been a fan of the cleaning kits for floppy drives but there are many people here and at other forums who claim they do work, so if the drive is plugged in correctly, spins when you insert a disk but fails to recognize the disk, you may want to try one of the floppy drive cleaning kits.

If all this fails and the drive still doesn't work, you may want to consider an alternate storage device. Contact me directly at that point and I'll be glad to discuss your options in that area.
