Several months ago, I started this thread. (Quick summary: The floppy drive in my Color Classic was doing weird stuff.)
After an attempt at cleaning produced no results, I decided to simply replace the drive with a used one purchased from eBay. But that still has't solved my problems...

- I tried to boot from a 7.5.3 Network Access disk and a 7.1 Disk Tools disk, but the disks were simply ejected after two or three seconds of drive activity. (I made the disks using the directions here AND the directions here. This happened with both the old drive AND the new drive.
- If I format the disk using my MacBook, the Color Classic has no trouble detecting it or copying a file to it. But then when I put it back in the MacBook, it doesn't mount; the only way to get it to show up again is to reformat it using Windows. (Note: I've upgraded to Leopard since I started the first thread.)
- I'll probably encounter more problems in the days ahead, but for now can anyone help me with the first two?
