OK, so far I haven't given up but I will certainly give this a go
when/if I do.  Since it only has a  Primary DOS partition then
this won't be difficult. I was reluctant to delete this and setup
another knowing that DOS would request a reformat.

Mainly, a video conferencing program PCC Desk and the addresses and
phone numbers of other schools world wide we were in contact with.

The PC was donated to the school by BT fully loaded, along with an ISDN
line but no software was supplied with it. backups were on the HD :) We
have been in contact with them but they claim not to have the software
anymore.



>HTH,
Many thanks
