[QUOTE="wolsty, post: 150448, member: 175166"] Thanks, 13echo, topper and CH. I suspect I'll need more advice, and probably a walkthrough, before I'm done. The 'new' disk is only new to my pc - I cannibalised it from an older computer, so I have no software or manual to accompany it. It runs well enough, but I can't copy from the IBM as yet. The old disk isn't recognised in BIOS set to auto as a primary or slave, even when the jumpers are correctly placed, but I'll try inputting the parameters manually and see if that works. I'm not too worried about viruses, as the disk has been retired from service for about a month and I had cleaned it with Norton and Panda before it crashed. I'll make sure that my av software is up-to-date and running before I try to open the files. Of course, Sod's Law determined that the drive went down just as I was starting to back up the data because I was concerned about its erratic behaviour. Well, at least I tried to back up! [/QUOTE]
