If you have a LOT of issues, > look at your floppy drives. well, i think the problem is partially my fault. i regularly reformat the disks between 18, 20 and 21 sectors per track. i've also played around with the number of tracks. that can't be too healthy for a floppy. plus, most of my floppies are on the order of 5 years old. i think i just need to buy a whole new bunch of them. i keep 2 backups of everything i have on floppies -- CD as well as hard drive. but frankly, i'd prefer to not have to use my backups to create new disks. it's just a HUGE waste of my time. i have no monitor hooked up to my firewall, so when the system reboots (say a power outtage that i don't know about) i don't really know about it. i want to be more confident than i currently am about the integrity of the disk that's in the firewall floppy drive. :-( pete > In general I don't have many issue's with floppy disks and when I do > it comes in batches. 1/2 the time it's my fault, the other half I > never find out. amen. :) pete _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
