CPC6128 reporting write protect messages

[zeropolis79]

My CPC6128 is reporting discs are write protected even with the write protect tab up and in place.

What's the best solution to this as I need to be able to format discs and copy files..

PLEASE HELP!

OK, you're not a beginner but R U sure this is not the case?

Most classic CPC problem: belt needs replacement.


Second most classic CPC problem: you lost the pin while fixing the first problem.

I've already replaced the belt..

The CPC is a post 1987 model - the Amstrad logo has a stripe. I will try the other solution.

Are you using an HxC as B drive with a protected SDCard?
It may be a problem as the protected signal is faulty reported on A drive too for me. (just unprotect the SD)

I only have a single 3" drive, no additions
