[jaws-uk] Re: Backing up files

George, I wasn't getting anything at all on the floppy. I agree that whole 
folders in my Outlook Express are too big for a single floppy, that's why I was 
trying to select individual files or groups of files and move them across, but 
it just isn't as easy as "copy and paste" which is what I'm more used to and is 
what I was trying to do.

Regards, Lynda

  Hi Lynda,
   
  Perhaps the files are simply too large to fit on a floppy disk.  Are you 
getting any warnings that might give us a clue as to the problem?

  Hi

  My computer has been crashing quite a lot lately - probably flagging from the 
heat like me! So I decided the time had come to get around to backing up all 
the files I've carefully squirreled away in Outlook Express folders...

  However, it seems this task is not as easy as I thought and I'm a bit stuck. 
I've tried copying the files in the usual way and pasting them straight onto a 
floppy disk from Windows Explorer, and also tried moving the files to there as 
one does between folders in Outlook Express. i.e. by picking up the files using 
shift and control plus v...

  But still no luck, so can anyone out there tell me how to do it please?

  Thanks in advance.

  Lynda
