851868 2010-01-25 21:45:00 I have several floppies that have an error on them......

"No ID address mark found".

Is it possible to restore these so that they can be used, even though there is very little call for them now?

I'm not sure that but the error may have occurred when in WIN7 and using its format facillity.

I agree. I'm old and pretend to be useful at times.
