[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Problems with unreadable disks

Hi,

A friend has a Mac 512K, with 400K internal/external drives.
Recently problems with the eject mechanisms of the drives
made her take it to the shop. Turns out only cleaning of the
mechanisms was required. Now that they are back in shape, the
problem is that NONE of her disks are readable (on her Mac).

I tried reading them on a MacII we have at the lab, and everything
seemed fine...however the problem on her machine remains. I asked
her to initialize some disks on the Mac 512K so i could maybe copy
the material onto them from the MacII...the initialized disks turn 
out to be unreadable on the MacII. 
Could anyone out there advise me on what the problem might be and 
how it can be overcome ?
thanx in advance.
