    Bad Clusers...

    How to recognize the floppy install disk?
    I think the best way to recognize a FDD is to mark one of its clusters as bad and then check if that cluster is marked as bad. if u know how to mark a cluster as bad or how to detemire weather a cluster is bad - help me.

    Why not making a small file for example: check.chk, copy it to floppy and check for existance of that file?
