 GM: > NSW 2003 or NSW Pro 2003?  (I believe the Pro version has the Norton

NSW 2003 Pro, with Ghost, etc. I installed it to get the DOS (NU & Ghost) stuff
then uninstalled it (picked it up on eBay real cheap).

 GM: > Are you implying that I can copy DiskEdit, NDD, Unerase & Unformat

Yes, they work great under MS-DOS 6.22 at least. Norton Disk Doctor (NDD) is
like an upgraded Scandisk, since it knows about LFNs . I Defrag C: first,
which orphans the LFNs, then immediately run NDD, which deletes them .

If I try to run ONLY NDD first, it complains about the LFNs and says to fix
things under Windows. :-)

 GM: > _OR_ do I have to create a Rescue diskette from my Win98SE system
 GM: > and then copy the files to the DOS system?

I *did* create the Rescue diskette(s) but I don't remember if I used those or
the originals (either should work, if they're uncompressed).

Aha, I had wondered how you fared.

Same here, though I have a CD Burner on one so that's half the battle won .

I was also given a 4-port Hub (made my own RJ45 cables for it) but I only have
one NIC so I'll have to dig up another one day. My old NICs are all BNC
connectors. :(
