Using a DS/DD disk as medium for DS/HD might save money but not your data.
Due to different magnetic media, your disk may loose its data sooner (or
if your lucky, later) than you think. At our computing centre we advise
people (for their own ease of mind) to use floppies for the media they are
created for, that is to say format DS/DD till ~1Mb and DS/HD till ~2Mb.
Good luck!

   Annard.
