Thanks for the info from the gurus.....yes it was formatted for
MSdos. I have saved all the info and will reformat the HD
tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if the damaged files are
permanently damaged, but I do have most of them on CD anyway.
Great list!
Don't worry, Kevin. Windows itself has trouble with this stuff. I've
had many excruciating experiences trying to get Windows to backup
files with "long file names" - it's a bit of a worry when an
operating system doesn't support its own storage system...
Fortunately, it's generally only the filename which is the problem.
The data in the file is unaffected.
