Although I'm more than certain if someone could have figured this one out, I wouldn't have to look far to find it, but since I can't, I'll shoot anyway: Is there any way to fix those "unfixable" floppies? Like you try to format them but Track 0 is messed, and you're up the creek. I've tried to repair the diskettes with NDD, but to no avail. The only reason why I think there must be some way to fix it via software is because a few of these diskettes (HD) were formatted on a Mac. I figure if the Mac's bastard system can damage a diskette for PC usage, there must be a way to fix the "damage", either on the PC or Mac... Any ideas? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christopher Blaise - blaise@emily.uvm.edu "I just wanna be loved... ]]]]]]]]]]]]] Fido: 1:325/107 is that so WRONG?!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------
