Subject: *COPY Disc Corruption

Does anyone know of a problem with *COPY in DFS causing the
destination disc to be corrupted?

I have just been trying to copy 3 very short files from one DFS disc
to another using *COPY 0 1 s.*

The operation seems to complete successfully but attempting to 
catalogue the destination disc in drive 1 gives a disc fault 18 at
00/00 and the disc refuses to re-format, reporting disc fault
FE after completing the format and going back to write the
catalogue.  I've tried this with two discs, both of which are now
unusable.

I'm using a Master 128 with MOS 3.20 and Watford Electronics
5.25"/3.5" drive plinth to copy from 5.25" to 3.5".  I've never
had this happen before; does anyone know why it might be
happening?

Best wishes,



Ian
