Some old floppy disks of mine had bad sectors (before) but after a full format the bad sectors gone! Is this a miracle? lol

Do not trust the trusty old floppy..... the problem is they are not at all reliable and as such shows bad sectors even if they dont have one... its just that after a period of time they dont like working... use a cd... if you dont have it on CD download it off the internet... there are lots of sites where you can do this from. Floppy is out CD/DVD is in... so go for it.

yes. by lowlevel floppy formating.
you can format your 720kb floppy and change it to 1.44mb floppy too by insert a hole in lower right of your floppy.
