The problem I was having turned out to be a damaged program disk. I 
went in again today and was able to make a copy of a large disk on to 
another large disk. However, when I went to try to copy to the small 
drive, the computer came up with a message that no device was 
connected. Is this a hardware problem? It happened on two different 
computers. Or could it be that the program disk I am using (the 
utilities disk that goes with Word Perfect) is too old to recognize a 
small drive? I think I can get a hold of utilities disk that is 
several years newer (88 instead of 86). Might this help?

Thanks much again!!!
