Hi everyone, Perhaps it will take a while before I am back online. I upgraded mdk7.1 to mdk7.2. After the reboot to load things again, all harddisk partitions were gone. Nothing on disk except a lot of free space. I set up a compact win98 which does not like my isdncard, but through the modem I can, at least, find some info to get my machine up again. I am not a happy camper, at the moment. Imagine this: I can't restore my tape backup either. Tape gives an I/O error... Paul
