Bill:

    This gloomy post preceded mine of 12th Dec.  But to be quite
 clear: Yes, I do mean that being able to get the quoted answer
 from the DOS command 'DIR C:' after booting from the floppy is
 *highly* significant.  Repeating, it means that your disk itself
 is quite OK - you've just lost or mislaid some files.  Please
 post what 'DIR C: /a' (after booting from the floppy) gives as a
 result.  If it should so happen that it shows a lot of files
 which 'DIR C:' alone did not, then there is considerable hope.
 This is because M$oft choose to "hide" a lot of their most
 interesting files.
