I have noticed a problem with my new SE (with an internal 20Meg drive) when
intializing SOME High Density (HD) disks. Generally I can initialize the disk
on the first pass. However if I try to erase the disk my system will come up
with some kind of a disk error and will NEVER be able to re-initialize the
disk ever! I have ruined a few HD disks this way... Last night I ruined a
double sided disk in the same fashion... MIGHT there be a problem with my
disk drive? Have other people had this problem?
