No, it's not a bad disk, because after the cable/drive is moved around
abit, it recognizes the disk. I'm thinking that either the cable or the drive is
damaged somehow. I've seen the drives on sale for 100 bucks, and I
don't know how much the cables are. I just don't know whether EZServe
would take the drive back to look at because it looks like it has been
opened up by the previous owner.

I don't think you need special parameters for NT or 95, after all, they
are DOS! Also, maybe your disk is bad.
