Hi again,
Nope. Its not a hardware problem. The drive works fine in Win98 / WinNT. I
guess you have'nt come across a problem like this earlier. Like I said the
problem is only when I access the drive from linux. (from the very
begining) do you think its got anything to do with hardware -ie the
manufacturing model etc, being incompatible with the way linux access it.
the problem is with my home PC.
I'm leaving the office now and will check this list tomorrow, (even though
its my weekend here ;-) )
Thanks 'n Regards,
Ashley Moore

Please respond to linux-india-help
ohoooooooo!!!!
Then definitely it is not the software problem. The head of ur FDD is
making scratch
in ur floppy and that's why the floppy becomes bad. Please clean it.......
