This worked perfectly thankyou, but I still can't read my old disks so I guess I will have to rebuild the computer that I had 7.3 installed on and try to move the data the hard way ! It looks as if somebody changed something between 7.3 and 8.1 .
Nope. I just read my zip disk created with suse 7.3 in suse 8.1 with no problem at all.
It looks as if their is a fault on the disks I made with 7.3 as none of them were readable under 8.1 . I have reformatted some of them under 8.1 and they are now o.k. I am about to rebuild the 7.3 system so we will see.
I have successfully recovered the data that I needed using 7.3 and a hand full of floppies . The 7.3 system will not read partition 4 disks though . Something wrong with my 7.3 system maybe. Mike Ayers
