  12. The internal floppy disk drive in my NeXTstation turbo color is giving
  13. me trouble. All of a sudden I can not read floppies that have been
  14. used with no trouble in the past. After inserting a diskette I get a
  15. panel informing me that the floppy disk is unreadable. If I choose
  16. to initialize the disk I get another panel indicating:"Error while
  17. initializing disk: disk initialization failed", this last panel appears
  18. after approximately 20 minutes! How can I figure out if this is a
  19. hardware or software problem? Thanks!
