Marge, Maybe this has been covered in private correspondence but I don't understand the above discrepancies in file size. If you realy have all those bytes on your diskette, there is still hope. But if you only have 2 kb in each file, then I think you're out of luck. If I had that diskette, the first thing I'd do is pop it in A: and find out what's on it. You can do this from Explorer but, being an old timer, I'd exit to DOS and use the DIR A: command. Then I'd use the CHKDSK A: command. CHKDSK will tell you the total number of bytes on the disk, the number in use, hidden files, bad sectors, etc. I wouldn't run SCANDISK until all other possibilities have been exhausted. Jerry Bryan has some good suggestion under "Backup Help". Charles Gohlke
