My 512e's internal 800k drive is definitely bad - it will not accept disks which work on other computers and on my external drive. One minute it was working and I shut it down, the next minute it refused to reboot. I don't think there's really anything I can do other than take it in for for repair and hope it doesn't cost too much, but does anyone have any suggestions? (Either what's wrong or what I can do.)
