Floppy read disks but fail to format at cyl 0

This is an excellent bit of advice. I use X-copy to format as well.

Hey Chief,

What time did you X-nay from the Na hey, if you know what I mean, I x-nayed from the Na-hay in 93, right after desert storm at Alameda Naval Air Station, with a true Real Navy Squadron, not one of those wanna be reservist.

Track 0 disk failure, usually means that the disk is bad, I have had a lot of those lately, as a matter of fact a lot of disks even when new have had that failure. Best thing to do is try another disk, hopefully from another batch of disks.
but
If it is a new drive, then it could be a misaligned drive, that is missing track 0, in this case you will need a pro to align the drive with a program that runs the drive through a software align program as he adjusts it. Pretty tough process.

If I answered this question to your liking give me a yay, if not give me a nay, but don't ever give me a hey, hey, hey.
