We investigate the nonlinear evolution of Tayler unstable toroidal fields in a disk geometry, by numerical simulations. We consider non-rotating and rigid rotating disks, with different radial field profiles. The initial configuration is in equilibrium, which is achieved by a pressure gradient or an external potential force. The nonlinear evolution of the system leads to a stable equilibrium with a current free toroidal field. Only for the fast rotating case we could preserve a ring type structure of the toroidal field.
