OK, try this at home:
1. -> Take a .d64 file - copy it to an other filename eg: empty.d64
2. -> Take this to your 1541 device ( ALT+8 ) select the disk and aktivate with F1
3. -> Now enter : OPEN 1,8,15,"N:DISKNAME*,00" press Return ( *: 16 Characters max.! )
4. -> ( I hope you have the MAXIMUM 1541 SPEED ON! ) Then enter : LOAD"$",8 and LIST the empty disk...
5 -> PUUUH ! Now you have a blank disk - copy this in windows several times for the future
OR - ill send you one - MUHA !
