Finally persuaded my Father to upgrade to XP with new PC! Old PC ran
Windows98 and he was saving Word/Works docs to Floppy for transferring. He
cut and paste from his My DOcs folder to floppy, changed the disk, did
another batch, and put original floppy back in. (Docs were definately on
disk prior to doing 2nd batch, I checked!). Then got message 'disk not
formatted, would you like to format'. He clicked Yes, thinking it would get
docs back.
Docs still missing, I've searched all drives using 'Find/doc name' searches
and no joy. Not in Recycle bin. Are they sitting somewhere on the
Hard-drive, and/or can I retrieve them from somewhere. Any help gratefully
received.
