I have a Quantum Hard Drive and  for no apparent reason all my
Dirs/Files looked like Egyptian Hyrographics
I did a low level format [which I have performed many times before on
other Drives] .Then I tried to format the drive with normal Dos 6.22
installation Disks which completed approx 99% then a message came up
stating FORMAT TERMINATED CANNOT WRITE TO BOOT
When I try to access the drive after first booting with a Dos 6.22 SYS
Disk to drive A:  I then try to access C:\ Message says Invalid Media
Type
Can anyone help with this or do I throw the Drive in the Bin
