| 437748 | 2006-03-13 02:14:00 | I could use a little info or help! I had ms works data base files from a windows xp computer on a floppy and was adding info on a windows 98 computer after I finished I went back with it to the XP machine but it could not access the data & when I went back to the 98 machine it would not access it either. Is the data permanently lost or what? I got an error about ms works exception c0000026h in module kernell32.dll | bpete48 (9974) | ||
| 437749 | 2006-03-13 02:56:00 | Welcome! Floppy disks would be the most unreliable form of data storage that exists (followed closely by CD-RW in packet writing mode). Particularly when trying to update such thinds as databases, with a lot of read/write activity. Hopefully you have a backup copy, else the data could be rather hard to recover, if not impossible. |

| 437750 | 2006-03-13 03:45:00 | You can do a check disk on a floppy: Start ... Run ... Command chkdsk a: /F /R exit If "command" doesn't work, try "cmd" If the chkdsk complains, drop "/r" Even if you could post a more detailed error message, the translation probably pretty clear: "if you don't have a back up, you're scr****." By the way, USB drives also die with fair regularity, so going strictly digital doesn't reduce the need to backup. |
