First of all, let me say that I love the SERIOUSLY option!!
But I found a problem formating floppies: If the user aborts formating
using <Ctrl+C>, the disk becomes invalid (that's normal) and after that
the same floppy cannot be formated again, there is the classical
Abort/Retry/Fail and hitting Fail gives this error:
Invalid Drive! Aborting.
[Error 61]
I have to use MS-DOS's format to reformat that floppy...
First let me say that aborting is to be expected with real users, even
something that I personally do very ofthen: bulk erase with a power magnet!
What I believe that is happening is that the boot sector becomes invalid
(which is ok) but when formating again, format tries to retrieve some
media information and aborts without trying to reformat track0 first.
Please help,
Alain
