I really don't want to post this but hear goes.

One pass through the Kryoflux after cleaning and the disk Image wont boot properly.

Tried the original disk in my A1200 and the worst is feared, the disk wont boot.

I bit the bullet and removed the disk from it's casing and gave it a thorough clean.
More gunk, I can't believe how dirty this disk is. On Inspection there appears to be shiny stripes in line with the reading window. These produce the most gunk but I don't want to go heavy handed to try and clean them further.

I've replaced the disk in a new floppy case and put it through he Kryoflux again. Really bad news, It's worse, wont even boot to the Rainbow Project screen.

SIGH! I really don't want to clean it again, it's just making matters worse.

I don't like giving up on this but It's starting to give me a bad feeling in my gut.
I'm sorry Dastardly but I feel that I've ruined your disk. I hope you can forgive me!

On a good note, the images JBenham made could be sent to the Kryoflux team to see if they can salvage anything. I can play these images in WinUAE so maybe all's not lost.

If anyone else has suggestions please chime in.

Dastardly, what would you like to do next (besides murder me).
