[cctalk] Re: Disk imaging n00b

Disk compression gone wrong. I had a number of files from a hard drive to save to floppies. Even compressed it took 3 floppies. Al was fine until one night, I was carrying the box of these and other floppies. As I got out of the car, I dropped several disc and before I could stop, my foot came down on the first disk, of the three ( in the dark). I was never able to recover any useful information from any of the three disc. I didn't create those disc and the person that did had lost the source. I am willing to waste space to keep the original format, of each file, as much as possible. Any problem reading the first information of compressed files may mean the loss of all. I only use compressed if it is to be re-expanded at it final destination. Dwight ________________________________
