ZP I can't help but wonder if there was a problem on that disk before I opened PM. Like I said, its amazing to me that just opening PM could cause such havoc. Running a PM procedure would be more understandable The best solution would be to 'fix' the MBR or FAT ..restoring the drive to it's previous working condition As you indicate in your next post LF does not fix. The errors that are present in the lost partitions will still be there after a restore, correct? Naturally a reformat of that disk is needed after I get the data off, or as Wily has indicated maybe before. What else can I do to repair whats broken? Do you have some free space on one of your drives that can be formatted FAT in case you need to restore files to a FAT partition? Yes I think I have enough free space on C: or E: (ScsiTa). ROMO too, of course. ROMO doesn't have a bootable OS. Would that be a problem? Clarence
