Hi Folks:
I can't find a good 720K floppy to save my life. I changed the
bios battery on this computer, and now the hard drive doesn't boot.
I've used a bulk eraser to wipe about a dozen disk that wouldn't format
cleanly, and two of them seemed to format (720k) on a newer computer,
running DOS 6.2. At least it had all it's reported space. Running the
QRST.EXE with DIAGS80B._01 , I can hear it having problems with a
couple of tracks on the disk. In the end it says the checksums don't
match. Could I have a bad image? I can't even format in the compaq.
It claims something wrong with that floppy drive type. I don't know if
a high density formatted to 720 will work at all..
Thanks for any help.
Harry
