Karen,
That does sound strange. I haven't followed your drive perdicament very
closley.
How big is this drive supposed to be?
Was the drive used when you bought it?
What version of DOS are you using?
What is your computer, brand, processor, etc?
I remember you talking about zipping up the contents of your drive. Did
you do that, so if you messed something up, you could restore what you
have?
