Allen, >>>>>>The FAT, or File Allocation Table, often redundantly called the FAT table, is just a set of data written on the disk. If 7 out of 8 of your defective disks had bad FATs, then reformatting them in an working Zip drive would fix the problem. Or, you could try using the Norton Utilities, or other such data recovery software to see if the FAT could be fixed.<<<< I tried, but the clicking won't stop or you can't access the disk. Iomega said to send them in for replacement. The disks can't be repaired. Later
