Disklavier

Thank you for your help.  However, mostly this did not work. I created a 
bootable system disk in Windows 98 and pput the dkvcopy and ydm programs on 
it. Only the program, AnaDisk worked (they say that one will copy anthing!). 
  DKVcopy did not.  Giebler did not. Neither of those two programs could see 
the disk I wanted to copy.  I kept getting a file creation error or a 
runtime error.

For today, this failure is probably the best as it makes it easier to wrap 
up the laptop runing XP Home and give to my Dad!  He wants to run GIS 
software; and to think he asked for a hedge trimmer!  If I thought this 
laptop would work on DKV utilities, it would be harder to give it away!!!
