    I have suffered from this problem for ages(since 1995) with my good old MS-DOS.
Well, I discovered way back then that it was my floppy drive's fault. The head was whack...
The test was. The disk was formatted and written using the faulty drive. Other drives cannot
read the disk but only the faulty drive is able to.....

   Unfortunately as time passed by, the quality of diskettes has suffered. Nowadays, I honestly
can't tell that my data would survive a year in a diskette.
