212837 2004-02-04 19:38:00 Get a friend who has Linux on his/her/ machine and give it a go. Or try one of the many Linux bootable cds or emergency boot floppies and have a go yourself- esm2.imt-mrs.fr mark.p (383)

212839 2004-02-04 23:46:00 mark.p thanks for that, downloaed off the site and formatted 15 floppies okay, but 5 had the 0 sector corrupt!.

Floppies had been stored in a drawer for a long time so suppose they must have deteriorated.

Thanks again,
