Something odd is going on with my floppy drive, maybe it's just a |
| 2 |
hardware problem? In the first example you will see that I can format a |
| 3 |
floppy, mount it, but then I can not copy any files to it. |

this to boot my computer, yet I can't actually see any of the files. |

Simply a bad drive? I have tried numerous floppy disk, and they can't |
| 76 |
all be bad. Any other ideas for troubleshooting? |
