I have heard that you should format the floppy on the same
drive that you intend to do your file writing with.

Try formating the disk on the Atari using DC Format
or some other utility that allows you to use the
IBM boot sector.  Then try again.

Most of my transfers are done in the opposite direction
from what you want.  That is, I format the floppy with

format B: /N:9 /T:80

on the HP to get a 720 K format.  Then I write the files
on the HP.  When I take the disk home, I can read them
without trouble.

I hope that this helps.
