Is it normal for the 3.03 upgrade diskette to fail a Scandisk check?  Or is my diskette really corrupted?

<QUOTE>As far as I know there is nothing unusual about the 3.03 upgrade in terms of scandisk (eg. hidden files or boot sector records). Looks like you have a bad disk - perhaps you can contact Revelation Software and they can issue you with a replacement.



Try installing it anyway on a test copy of your system - you never know - it may just work if the bad sectors are in an unused portion of the disk. Try several machines - I've seen cases where the diskette drive tolerances are out between machines just enough to get scandisk to complain.

There is a file verification option on the upgrade program as I recall.



The 3.03 maintenance release can be downloaded (3.0x to 3.03) from the Demos & Downloads section of the Web Site if your disk is indeed bad.
