What are you talking about?  I've already explained the whole scenario. I
booted off OS/2 floppies, and I could still see my data (by doing a
"dir e:" from my floppy-booted OS/2).  I then decided to install
OS/2 onto my E drive.  It managed to load 7 disks, before crapping out and
making all my data "disappear".  BFN.  Paul.
