Hi, Kelly:
I don't know about rescuing, (grin).  When you first put your disk in the 
drive, let it make all of it's noises.  Then, from the Main Menu, press W for 
KeyWord.  Open a document.  If you're not presented with the "drive" prompt, 
press Backspace twice.  Make it say "drive"? Press the Spacebar until you see 
"storage card." Try doing it that way before you do any S to save, and see if 
it will recognize it.
Kind Regards,
Rhonda

>Hi folks,

>We are now trying to prove just how much the customers really rely on my boss,

>any time I answer a call for her even if I'm not taking a message.  I wrote

>on the computer for printing.  The idea was good, but a no go.  Once plugged 
>in to the wall and the BN, the disk drive let me take out the disk in it with

>files.  I then pressed s-chord as if I were saving the file.  Next I pressed 
>backspace twice to move the the "drive" prompt.  I pressed s for "storage 
>card".  The BN responded taht the system cannon find the specified drive.  I

>After about 20 minutes of trying almost any combination of things I could

>them, I told Peggy I'd have to bring it to her Monday.

>I just got this External Disk Drive in June of last year and have only used it 
>3 or 4 times.  Which is because I haven't been backing things up quite like I 
>should, and when I have been have been backing up to some compact flash cards 
>one of my Uncles just gave me.

>Can anybody rescue me????
