Sandy,

I tried your suggestion with the same result--the same error message
except this time I noted it was Error 45. The manual says that accessing
the disk is not possible and that is often a hardware problem. It also
says there are simple solutions for some problems but others require
replacing the disk after backing up but it doesn't say how to back up.

So I tried Ray Davison's zip backup and, wouldn't you know, is failed
because there was a CRC error on the slave drive partition to which the
zip file was being written. I think I will format that partition and try
the zip backup again.

All I can think of now is the words of a fellow I worked with. When he
encountered a situation like mine, he used to look to the heavens and-in a
plaintive voice-say, "Lord, what did I do?"
