The last week I spent a lot of time with backup problems. 1,44MB diskettes both those formatted as 2,88 and plain 1,44 gave me a lot of problems. They seem to develop Bad sectors in a well known pattern from the last days of my IBM LS40SX. The pattern is showing as Bad sectors on the last opart of Norton Disk Doctor, one spot for each X sectors and the distance narrowing near the bottom, the foirst part of the surface is always OK. Romurs tells that slim notebook diskette readers often behave this way. My impression is that they are over-nervous, desktop PC's happily accept problem diskettes and don't find bad sectors. Moving data files seldom creates problems, but installing new software from 100% filled-up and compressed diskettes is a nightmare. Any ideas ? What can I say to my supplier ?
