Good morning to all.
Can anyone tell me if there is any deffernce between different brand of
standard 1.44mb floppy drive?
I'm asking because i have problem to format floppy disks.
I have a P233 mmx PC (same as my friend's PC but differnt monitor, whhh
~~~, i don't have AOE) and an old 386 (8mb ram). I need transfer some
data (word 2.0 doc) from 386 to my new PC. The problem is i can copy
data from the floppy (to new computer) but when i tried to format (in
"My Computer") the floppy (full format), Win95 can't complete the task
because reported a error on floppy (scandisk can't fix). Then i ran
norton disk doc on 386 to fix it, NDD reported directory structure error
and lost chains. After fix it, there was almost nothing on floppy.
Then i format it on 386 (no problem at all), took it back to my new PC
and tried to formant it again, same problem. Then i tried other floppy,
i found another one has same prblem and the rest are okay (they are all
my old formatted floppy).
so that i thought there maybe difference between floppy drive, is it
ture (i hope not)???
Thanks in advance
