I am having trouble reading the directory and files on 5-1/4" floppies formatted under earlier versions of DOS, especially DOS 2.1. Most of the time the directory is not found. Sometimes the directory is read ok but some of the files on the disk can not be read. Can anyone explain what is happening? Is there a fix?
