- Kwan-Seng Law advised to low-level format the disk. If you don't want to
- do this (on an IDE, about 10 % of IDE drives are problematically with this),
- write a simple DOS program which nullifies all sectors of the first tracks
- (via BIOS hard disk interrupt); i'm sure this will help, at least when done
- on the whole disk.

- good luck,
