	Although I'm more than certain if someone could have figured this
one out, I wouldn't have to look far to find it, but since I can't, I'll
shoot anyway:

	Is there any way to fix those "unfixable" floppies?  Like you try to
format them but Track 0 is messed, and you're up the creek.  I've tried to
repair the diskettes with NDD, but to no avail.

	The only reason why I think there must be some way to fix it via software is because a few of these diskettes (HD) were formatted on a Mac.  I figure if the Mac's bastard system can damage a diskette for PC usage, there must be
a way to fix the "damage", either on the PC or Mac...

	Any ideas?
