Thanks for everyones help so far :-) The plot thickens... Since the Box is dual booting I started in windows so that I could check the hardware against another OS, and guess what, can't read the disk! So I now assume that the FDD died in a two hour slot covering the time that I mangled the etc folder - Okay, I'll accept that. However the boot disk still works! Any ideas why the boot disk should be so fault resistent and if this is the reason, why is it that this file system is not used as a general floppy format? Kind regards Adrian
