   The floppies are double-density ones I'm afraid. So no holes to cover.   
      
   I did make me think though, as the external drive I have is a Power   
   Computing one that supports HD as well as DD. But fiddling with the mode   
   switch at the back doesn't seem to help.   
      
   I cleaned the heads yesterday and managed to get one side of the disk to   
   give all greens on xcopy's checkdisk function - but the others were   
   completely red. And still not formatting - with the "Cylinder 0" error.
