Hi! I am trying to format a floppy 3.5" HD to a DOS format readable on a win/DOS machine. Whenever I create a floppy on a linux machine it is either unreadable on windows or it has bad sectors :( If I format a floppy on a DOS/win machine with the format command the floppy works ok on both linux and win/DOS machine. I have tried this to format the floppy: sudo fdformat /dev/fd0h1440 && sudo /sbin/mkfs -t msdos /dev/fd0 and everything cam out fine it verified as a good floppy with 0 bad sectors. I also tried kfloppy and formated with density set on HD and file System set on Dos, the setting was set to Full Format. I am running SuSE 6.2 system. Has anyone figured this one out yet? I really don't want to boot to win just to format a floppy readable on a win machine :( THX in advance!
