[comp.sys.atari.st] flaky disk drive

zl04+@andrew.cmu.edu (Zachary Shanes Levow) (10/31/89)

I've had this problem for a short while, but I thought
all ST's did this.  I have a 1040 STf from about 2 years
ago, when I switch disks it doesn't handle it correctly
suppose, my disk has 400k free and I loaded a 40K file
into memory from one disk, then put my 400k disk in the
drive and saved.  The 400K disk now says 360k free, but
shows no file!.  I talked to another st'er about this
told me to check if there was a "c" on the bottom of
my computer- there is.  He said my problem was that about
2 years ago, Atari put a different drive in the ST's
and marked them with a c.  This is making my life keck!
Is thare anything I can do, shouldn't ateri replace it,
and should they charge me?
Thanks,
