[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Disk drive error on PC-AT.

rupen@csd4.csd.uwm.edu (Rupen Dinesh Sheth) (12/15/90)

I have a PC-AT with a 1.2Mb floppy drive and a 40Mb harddisk.  I haven't been
using my floppy a lot.  Recently I noticed that I cannot copy files to/from
any floppy disk.  Although a 'dir' lists all the files, and a 'chkdsk' works
ok.

I would certainly appretiate any help in this matter.  Are there any public
domain diagnostics that I can use?  Also, I have no clue as to what could have
happened, and I'd rather learn about it from your expert advice and experience
than take it to a shop and have to pay a lot of bucks (especially if the
problem is minor.)

Please reply via email to rupen@csd4.csd.uwm.edu
Thanks a bunch.
