>>The first line of defense is the working NT operating system on your second drive. You will be able to access the files on the first NT drive and you may be able to fix what you screwed up. Not quite, ZP. The FIRST line of defense is you can get at your data that you haven't backed up to save it no matter what you screwed up (unless it's the file system or the data itself). The SECOND line of defense is that you may be able to fix the things you screwed up without resorting to backups. I don't care HOW rigorous your backups are, they're NEVER up to date completely unless you employ certain high availability strategies, and even then the best you can guarantee is transaction integrity -- you updated it or you didn't but you didn't half update it. You can still lose transactions; it's the nature of things. Spots

ZP I named the file 1001.pqi. The next Drive Image file will be 1002.pqi. I used the date name for my first DI and was also left with a feeling that there had to be something better with more info. I like the spread sheet idea but with the dated naming (which is also sequential)so there is an indication of when the DI was done and whats in it. Clarence
