A friend has a Tandy 2500 XL/2.   He said his battery failed and
he replaced it.

Now, when he starts the computer, it boots and leaves an A:>
prompt on the screen.  We can change to the C:> prompt and do a
DIR to see a few files including FORMAT.

We have tried to copy files to the C drive, but get a message
that the disc is "write protected".  I have also tried to FORMAT
the C drive, but I get the message "Bad Sector 0 - disk
unusable"

Has his hard disk crashed?  Or, does this has something to do
with the battery failure.

Any help with this will surely be appreciated!!

Thanks.

Tom
