Duncan, DiscOVER SHOULD read the MSDOS disk format - it certainly has been able to do so in the past as long as it has been formatted to FAT16 (it will not handle FAT32 or NTFS). How big is the drive you are trying to use - I could probably sort out why DiscOver is not working if I can get an image of the disk. If it is not large it might well compress down to a manageable size.

I have not had any success with Diskover.? ? I always have to format it to a Qubide partition.? Hi, I imagine Qubide would need an application that could open a direct access channel to the FAT partition and then process the FAT table data and the file data like the CF card FAT 16 reader I showed you just over a year ago. I thought thats what Diskover did - read alien disc formats.
