    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.  You can send your reply to:
