@noiob Then explain the person who put their gender on a floppy for sake keeping and hung it on the fridge... and now suddenly they don't have one anymore.
Well... seriously, if I had any working disks to experiment on I'd probably try that. For some reason a lot of my disks show up as being unformattable now.
@noiob Thing I didn't mention about these broken disks... they were stored in shelved underneath unshielded speakers for years. Doh!
