I also sometimes have problems reformatting MS-dos floppies on the mac,
and also theother way around. When I need the disk very hard, then i put
it up in front of my speaker, as close to the magnet as possible. Then
it will almost always work again.

But I am not sure if I can trust such  disks, so until now I have been
returning them to the shop when I have got the programs transfered to a
"safe" disk. They just swap them without any problems. They gve a
lifetime waranty, so there is no problem, and I even gets my stock of
disks renewed once in a while.
