Dodgy disk? Have you tried more than one disk?

When you format in Vendor / System format, then the DIRectory is located on the 3rd track, but on Data format it's on the 1st track, so I assume that your track 0 on that disc is bad.


Try another disc.  :)

Try to use software like "Multi mark" which is able to format and check if there is any defective sectors....

Or... since CP/M format seems to work use BD04.COM it does a thorough check of a disc.[nb]Can't upload it from here, I'm at work. But it should be in some other thread.[/nb]
