I would copy each file from the backup floppies to the same
directory/folder. This will give you an extra backup and will
separate any problems of reading the floppy media from some other
potential problem. This is not the common way, and it is not
usually necessary. But especially if it is my only backup, I would
consider the copy to hard disk step.


The files will be named *d1.mbf, *d2.mbf, *d3.mbf and *d4.mbf. If
your floppies do not have such files, you have a problem. Think of
other backups you might have made in the past and stashed somewhere.
Did you burn a backup on CD?

If you have the needed files, in WE, double-click the *d1.mbf file.
That should launch Money and start the restore. When Money prompts
for the next diskette, click OK.

If you are restoring directly from floppy diskette, you can insert
the first floppy and double click the *d1.mbf file. Change
diskettes when prompted.

You will have a chance to change the location or filename for where
the restored data will go. If this is a different computer, it is
especially good to browse to a location. The old location may not
even exist.

I backed up to 4 floppies before reinstalling my operating system (WIN XP) .
Now
when I click restore, it loads up the first floppy, but it doesn't ask for
the 2nd floppy. When I go through the process again--but with the 2nd floppy
inserted--it asks for the first. What can I do?

I use MS Money 2001.
