Sorry to take so long to reply to this question ....
I have had simular errors before. The problem is prob. not you
hardware.
Dos will use a disk if track 0 is bad. You just cannot boot from that
disk (i.e. Make said disk a system disk). All it does is write the
track # to the FAT and lock out that track. I know this is true for HD's,
but I'm sure it will work for floppy's too.
Have fun!!!
