OK well that works here. You could have a bad drive I suppose. If you
happen to have an old DOS Boot disk and version from Dos 4.0 up and just
boot your machine with it, doing a plain c:\format a: command. Does that
work? Have you tried different diskettes? I do not have any unformatted
diskettes here and I believe you said it works if you have a previously
formatted disk. I have had diskettes that for some reason would not format
particularly one that was used on a Brother Typewriter.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
