The disk will never again function as a high density disk, but if you put a piece of scotch tape over the hole on the left side of the disk (the one WITHOUT the little slider on the back) you will be able to read it on macs with high-density drives. In the future, be sure to format only low density disks (they don't have the extra hole) on low-density macs. Brad Koehn koehn@macc.wisc.edu
