I've seen this happen on a couple of occasions. A bad floppy will cause it. Try dd'ing to another floppy.

Another trick is to first try /sbin/badblocks -v /dev/fd0 1440 to make sure the floppy is not defective. The dd process is too primitive to check for such things on its own. It just spews the stuff out and hopes it will land intact. doug -- Douglas R Waud, Professor Emeritus -- Pharmacology University of Massachusetts Medical School Mailing address: 17 Lantern Lane, Shrewsbury, MA 01545-2006
