Al, it happens quite frequently. I've gotten into the habit of running Scandisk 
on floppies before I even use them. Out of a box of 12,  I get an average of 9 
good ones, 3 that need are repaired by scandisk, and out of every two boxes, 
one that is beyond repair. That's just an average...once I had four disks out 
of 12 that were bad, sent them back to the manufacturer for replacement.
