Would not format FAT32 on installation. Went in later to the command prompt and set it to FAT32 and it spent 20 minutes formatting then said the disk was too large for FAT32. Instructed it to make 32K clusters and same result. The only thing that would do it was WinME and I allowed that to default with no success. The original was formatted by Dell and came with WinME so I thought that would be a good bet.
It was my stupidity that relied on Disk Image and not doing backups on CD's since Jan 2004. So I was able to get some old info from there.
I also have a documents directory that I created for all, (yeah sure), documents that I saved in normal file format. Thank goodness, I got some irreplaceable info out of that like my layouts for Corel for all of the product that I make. But the laser settings were in a different folder and I only have backups from 1/2004, but that is something. Lost the laser driver though.
