Re: [emax] bad disk drive?

2001-11-14 by John Silveria

HD diskettes among other things have different magnetic properties so although the 
Emax will reformat them not knowing any better the disks themselves are corrupted by 
the process and their magnetic surface will give out much quicker. So it's not a matter of 
can't, it's a matter of creating an unstable media that is guaranteed to go out quicker.
