On what system did you do the format? If it was on a Microsoft system, is it possible that system files were copied to the floppy as part of the format process. I think that is the /s flag, but it has been so long, I may remember wrong. Most of those files are "hidden". Otherwise, if you formatted it to 1.44MG and nothing else was put on the disk, then it must have had bad sectors which were excluded. That could happen either on the MS system or on the FreeBSD system. If so, just discard that floppy and try another is about all you can do. ////jerry > - Greg > _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
