Sue,
Did you try to save the same info to the floppy you re-formatted to see if
it now works?
I don't know about your dos program (or much about dos at all!), but I own
an old Sony Mavica camera that uses floppies to record images and every so
often I would get one that I could not read (sometimes after succesfully
opening the files repeatedly before). I just wrote it off as an inherant
flaw with floppies. I probably should research a little to test my theory
(which I will do now). But I'm curious why not use another media such as a
thumb drive.
not much help but good intentions,
Phil
