I had a system where its floppy drive was badly misaligned.  It has been
replaced with one that works just fine.

My problem is that all the floppy's I had used in the bad drive had their
track-0 wiped out.  So now when I go "format a:" it returns with the error
message "Invalid media or Track 0 bad - disk unusable."  I've tried this
on 5 other PCs each giving the same result.  Any diskette that had been 
written on by the old misaligned drive gives the same formatting error even
when known working floppy drives are used to format these diskettes.

Is there any way to restore track-0 information???

I've tried "format a: /t80 /n18 /u" but to no avail.  I've also tried
the Norton Utilities disk doctor but with no success.  I even tried the
free-ware version of fdformat.exe which also failed.

I hate to throw 50 some odd diskettes in the trash if there is some way
of being able to format them once again.

Any suggestions out there???
