When you create 360/1.2M disks by formatting on the PC - can you then

I tried reading and then recreating a DOS
360K disk. Worked fine.
It even seemed to read a known good Kaypro disk. But, I tried writing
it out with no luck. It did, though, write it out with no errors, so I
think I have two issues. One is that the K10FLOAD.TD0 file that I
converted to an IMD did not convert correctly, and the other is a lack
of correct settings on IMD.
When I read my known good DSDD Kaypro boot disk, I set tracks to 80,
stepping to double, and sides to 2. But, IMD tries to read all the way
up to track 80, when I thought it would stop at 40 (80 tracks, double
stepped).
But, when I set retry to 0, and it goes all the way up there, I still
don't have a good copy.
