Hello Murf, Have you run chkdsk on your computer? It might be a bad sector on the hard drive that is preventing the repair. Right click on the start button, and select run. In the run box type chkdsk c: /f A box will say check the disk on reboot because it cannot be locked. Type Y to allow it. When it finishes, go back into Legacy and rerun the compact and repair a few times. Hopefully everything will be back in shape. Then back that drive up. It maybe getting ready to go. It could be bad news just prepare yourself.
Here is the command from Microsoft - trust but verify. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637756.aspx Good luck Gene On Sun, Jul 9, 2017 at 5:45 PM, Dennis Murphy <dmurf...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a mater database of 75K+ from which I am trying to extract my > family line of about 54K..
