I tried the earliest version I could find of Disk Aid, but it wouldn't run. But now things have gone from bad to worse. I cliked on a program, and the hard drive stated making lots of weird noises, and wouldn't stop, and with the wristwatch constantly on the screen. So I re-booted, but the HD wouldn't boot. So I think it's faulty somehow, so I may have lost all my progs. But everything was fine till this happened. :( >Why not just try to format one of those floppies?

I discovered that the new set of floppies that I made for the sys 6.0.8 install would not boot the Mac either, whereas they did at first. But *surely* I couldn't have had another lot of bad disks?? So I got to thinking that maybe the install prog marks the disks after it installs the system so they can't be used again. So to test this theory, I remade them using the same floppies, and sure enough they worked. Which means then that the disks I used originally weren't 'bad' at all. >David > >pedro wrote: > > > >> what prog and version should I use to check the >>hd for faults and errors? and.. can I format new 1.44 mb floppies to >>800k format, to avoid using my old 800k disks and risk having this >>problem again?
