Usually this just means that the disk has been formatted, but no boot
sector has been written so it contains only F6h repeatedly. Simply
zero the sector 1 with a disk editor and it should work again - unless
the track is really bad.
BTW, I wonder how many diskettes that showed this problem have been
thrown away because people thought that they were defective. ;-)
