I wrote to Info-Apple about my data disk 2 of DreamZone crashed.
I did a check for bad blocks on the disks. The test came up with 4 bad
blocks. I used BLOCK.WARDEN to read the blocks, all 4 said I/O error
press any key then when I pressed any key the screen was full of 00's
apparently blank blocks, the blocks were as follows:
ERROR : BLOCK $04F1
BLOCK $04F3
BLOCK $04F5
BLOCK $04F7
What do these blocks usually contain on a normal disk. Would it have anything
to do with the FORMAT of the disk. Because before this happened it was PRODOS
and now it says it is neither a DOS 3.3 or Prodos disk when using COPY II PLUS.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Could the disk just be a bad disk??? What do you think??
