Something to try is boot off of the OS2 utility disks. then format a bunch of floppies. then copy the files you want to the floppies. Or if you have another machine, take the drive(s) off the first one and put them on the second. Boot off of the utility disks and copy from drive to drive. By using the floppies you avoid drive association problems. experiment without delete. Bruce
