Lewis) Organization: California Institute of Technology Lines: 12 [] In the last month, about five of my DS 3.5" floppy disks have experienced "Hard sector errors" that AmigaDOS tells me to fix with DiskDoctor. After DiskDoctor is finished with it, and I copy the remaining files to another disk, the disk *can not* be initialized because of the hard sector error. How can I fix this disk so that I can re-use it? Should I find a strong magnetic field to scramble it, or something? Thanks for your help.
