Message-ID: <1598@hubcap.UUCP> Date: 11 May 88 03:14:17 GMT Distribution: na Organization: Clemson University, Clemson, SC Lines: 17 Keywords: Track 0 errors Sorry to take so long to reply to this question .... I have had simular errors before. The problem is prob. not you hardware. Dos will use a disk if track 0 is bad. You just cannot boot from that disk (i.e. Make said disk a system disk). All it does is write the track # to the FAT and lock out that track. I know this is true for HD's, but I'm sure it will work for floppy's too.
