- Okay. I was had MSH: mounted and was copying files from
- MS-DOS format (drive df1) to AmigaDOS (drive df0).
-
- Everything was working beatuifully, untill I tried reading the
- AmigaDOS disk in drive df1. It said it was screwed, and to use
- diskdoctor. Like a fool, I tried diskdoctor, which rattled my
- drive as it told me tracks 20-80 were bad.
-
- After that, no disk is readable in that drive.
-
- It sounds like a head allignment problem; however, in my past
- experience (other computers), the allignment problem is gradual.
- This was not.
-
- What do you think? I've been told that with the price of labor
- these days, I may as well bye a new one.
-
- Thanks for any input,
-
