The best program IMHO for recovering is Prosel 8's Mr Fixit. If it cant do it, then more than likely it cant be fixed. But first, did you clean the drive in your computer? Sometimes that can be the culprit. Clean the drive first then try the disks again. Jim ----- The Palmtree BBS 310-453-8726 v.32 Inet: jpoore@pro-palmtree.cts.com
