[comp.sys.atari.st] Problems backing up Mark Williams C 3.0

prophet@sfsup.UUCP (+Brooks M.P.) (03/10/89)

I have just purchased a 520STfm, and I have run into a problem with
backing up my Mark Williams C Compiler disks.
When I try to format my backup disks as described in the
manual, using the working.tos program.
I get an error message concerning error -16 and then it
tells me that there are bad sectors on the disk and that I should
not use it for distribution. This occurs with both single sided and
double sided, double density diskettes. The configuration of the machine
is as follows:


		512K RAM
		One floppy drive (ss)
		SC1224 color monitor
		
		
		
		
Any help would be mongo appreciated.

I can be reached via e-mail at att!sfsup!prophet
