I've had some problems with DD disk read/write under Win98SE even though the disks
were formatted as such on the same machine. As a result I've given up using DD disks
on Win98SE - as you say Win95, W2K and XP all appear to be OK.
I don't know why M$ haven't issued a patch - I guess it's because they don't regard DD
disks as being used any more. It's hard to find new ones anywhere (like EHD) - I'm
currently using up a stock that were thrown out at work - i had to rescue them from a
skip before the rain started!!
