Hey Katie,
No problem with Check Disk, I will do it tomorrow. I have been doing check
disks since dinosaurs ruled the earth <Smile>.
All the best

Hi Steve,
It would be really helpful if you could do a check disk on the card in DOS
and redirect the output to a file that you can send to Steve. If you're not
clear on how to do this, contact Steve directly and he'll walk you through
it. Thanks.
