Simply adding files to a 360K disk with a 1.2M drive (assuming the disk
was originally written with a 360K drive) can still cause problems.  Even
if the drive writes on a previously unused part of the disk, there is still
information stored in those sectors (such as the CRC) that gets changed.
In addition to this, the directory gets rewritten.
