There's an easy way to test the disk drive.
- From a copy of the Locksmith utilities,
- launch the Fast Disk Backup,
- Press 1 then Return,
The program will tell whether there are I/O errors on the diskette,
otherwise the text area will be full of ".". That means two things:
- either the diskette is bad,
- either the disk drive head is dirty and needs some cleaning.

Uhm!  How do you launch the Fast Disk Backup if the drive is not
working?  -_-

That's why at least two drives are a good idea.  ;-)
