I recenlty bought 3.5" DS/DD Dysan diskettes. The problem is FORMAT command in dos would not format the diskettes. It says, "Track 0 is bad, Diskette unusable." All 50 diskettes are same. But if I format the diskettes using PCTOOLS, I can format them and use them without any problem. Dos doesn't still format them after I format them with PCTOOLS. I have never had this problem with any other 3.5" diskettes. What is going on? Yongduk Lee LEE@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu
