     I am experiencing a rather horrible problem right now... my drive -
a single sided on, does not seem to have the ability to write to disks
anymore, although it reads them fine... I can't even format a new disk
properly.... as much as I can tell it is not a virus... I have used
"clean disks" and the same problem occured.... I had this problem once
before, but I can't remember how I fixed it, I just messed around with
placement of equipment, pushed chips down and such, and within a day of
fooling around like that - it worked again.... but I can't get it to this
time... does anyone have any ideas or was faced with a similiar problem
and knows a fix?
