Cyclic error![b/]

[antikenyo]

what is the problems on this we have nt workstation and win98 o/s running office97. using a fdd from one workstation to another workstation causes fdd to be bad. saying cyclic error. is that cause of nt is 16 bit and win98 is 32 bit?

It has nothing to do with the FATs on either PC; those are specific to the HDD. Does this happen with all floppies created on the same machine and then used on multiple other PCs...or is it just one floppy created on one PC and then trying to be accessed on one other PC? If it's always the same PC where the floppies are created, and you have problems reading any of them on any other PC, then I'd say there's something wrong with the floppy drive they were made on...OR...you may have run into a bad box of floppies. If it's always the same PC where you're trying to read the floppies, then I'd guess there's something wrong with the floppy drive in that PC. One more thing...can you read the floppies on the same machine they were created on?

It sound to me like there is something wrong with the floppy drive on the Win98 PC...have you tried creating a floppy on the 98 PC, then trying to read it on the NT PC? Cyclic errors generally relate to bad info...I'd guess your fdd in the 98 PC is going south...
