Bill, Well, after attempting to import the files, Norton Ghost went through all of them and then presents me with an error message... and crashes. I think we're on the right track though, so I'm going to attempt to restore the backup on another system to see if it's a program incompatibility or system.
Thanks again for the help. It's nice to know that people on this list will stop what there doing to help other out. We all appreciate it!
