Thanks all,
for the info, but unfortunately I am now back at work for the next three days, ie long hours,
0530-2000 so it does'nt leave any play time.
Just to recap for Audrey, the Keydiscs that I am using, as supplied by Musiczone, are DD ready formatted. As I mentioned earlier, my son did manage to grab a few of Gunners files, before the novelty wore off, but I suspect he used DOS to do it. If he did, the little B##### did'nt let me into the secret of how.
So to summarise, I dont think the problem is the formatting of the discs, nor the fact the files have come across via XP on a CD to the WIN98 machine. Because I have got some of the files working. Anybody retrieved the files from the German site CA, as extracting them results in an exe. application which directs them straight to the floppy drive?
Will resume testing on Thursday all being well.

Regards to all,

JohnT
