Message-ID: <1990Dec27.093000.3845@csc.anu.edu.au> Date: 26 Dec 90 23:29:59 GMT Organization: Computer Services, Australian National University Lines: 9 I had 7 dead floopies died in a day in the sense that after I copied files off them and asked my HD drive to erase it, it says INITIALIZATION FAILED. Last night, I tried FastFormat 3.0 on them. It complains that it is having some problems and asks me whether I would like to continue. I say yes and I seem to have my disk back. But...I don't think I want to put anything on those disk again. Ida
