I'm not sure how this happened, but track 0 on a 72-meg Miniscribe full-height drive appears to be damaged. (It's running in an AT.) I used FDISK, making every possible partition, and I either get no boot or invalid partition table. The bad track has been marked bad with Norton Utilities. Except for bootup, the disk is fully operational. (I have to boot the machine from a floppy.) I was unable to reformat the drive. (The drive is fully backed up.) Would a low-level format help or be possible here? What can I do to make this drive boot? Thanks for any expert assistance... -Adam
