<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">If CiderPress doesn't recognize the disk, you will probably need to choose a filesystem format, and may need to select the sector ordering.&nbsp; For more information about these fields, see the <A HREF="t18.htm">detailed disk image discussion</A>.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">When opening an image with the disk sector viewer, you can select one of the "generic" formats if you don't know what format the disk is in.&nbsp; The format you choose is combined with the sector ordering value to determine how blocks or sectors are read from the disk.&nbsp; If you're trying to open the image in the file list, the "generic" formats will not be available.</FONT></P>
