Suddenly getting bad disks out
#3
I've gone in and clean the heads. Nothing really came off of them though.

I'm having some sort of problem with my floppies getting destroyed though. Here are my steps:

1. On MSDOS machine, take a 1.4 floppy and scan disk with surface scan which comes back as 100% good.
2. Do some operations on the floppy, all is well
3. Put it in the SCP drive and have it do a Disk Media Test
4. Get back error that says: Media failure - Track: 0, Head: 0
5. Put disk back into MS DOS machine.
6. Cannot DIR, format, or do anything with the disk. It's dead

Are these disks permanently dead?

I try this with a 720k floppy and it works every time. It only seems to hate 1.4mb floppies.
