Inspired by “A little trick for formatting floppy disks with a damaged track zero”
Start PCTOOLS, and even the disk function keys stop working. Don't give up! Under DOS, load the 2M.COM or 2M.SYS file from 2M 3.0 into RAM, then use the command: 2MF /M or 2MF /F to format that “floppy disk” and expand its capacity, then format it again (FORMAT A：), but don't use (FORMAT A： /Q). Because the latter formats the capacity we just expanded, and if 2M.COM or 2M.SYS is not loaded, it cannot be recognized in other floppy drives! I have already successfully rescued N disks, and I am truly impressed by 2M 3.0's powerful “recognition” ability! Also, I am quite fond of “New DOS Era,” so I'm writing this here as well for other friends to use as reference!
