 I can understand where you're coming from, I used to purchase boxes of
 100 ea and split the cost with someone, so I still have new 3.5 disks
 that have never been used yet. That doesn't neccesarily mean that they
 are OK, but might have a better chance at error free disks.

 Of all the disks I use, I reformat them pretty often using C2PC and
 have only had a minor amount of them go bad. Of course if you have
 important data on that bad sector...

 Have a great day!
