Thanks for your suggestions, Rowland. 

I'll give it a try. I've tried Disinfectant and Disk First Aid as a
matter of course. The P200 was purchased secondhand and I believe all
P200s came with the System pre-installed and no floppies. I backed it up
when I got it, but I reckon it will be just my luck that the fault was
already on it then.

It's on the backburner for "to dos" at the present!
