What I am trying to do is get some files off of a floppy for a person.... floppy won't read in a windows box... but I have been able to read them in a linux box what that happens... unfortunatly this one isn't being a cooperative... so I am looking for another way to get past the I/O errors... Can't believe someone would put files on a floppy without duplicate backups....but , well you know... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!
