Jonathan, It sounds to me like the drive has had a problem with validation. You cannot write to an unvalidated drive, though you can read from it. If you want to use a disk editor, you can change the validation bit in the root sector to true, and if this is the problem, it will let you write to the drive again. I had to do this only last weekend, and I thought I could find the notes I scribbled to myself as I worked. I believe it is word 70 that you change from 0 to 1. If I'm wrong here, probably either Don or Larry will correct me, since they work more closely with the drives than I do these days. Betty
