Write-protect those floppies now.

I would copy each file from the backup floppies to the same
directory/folder.


The files will be named *d1.mbf, *d2.mbf, *d3.mbf and so on.

If you get your CRC error on one of the floppies repeatedly, check
your friends' machines to see if they can copy the file for you.
There are drive-to-drive variations, and I hope one will work for
you. Otherwise, there are diskette recovery services. They may be
expensive, but if you only have the one copy, it is likely worth it.
There are also diskette fixing programs. I would *not* allow them to
write to my diskette to fix it. you could try to let them read the
diskette and write to a different one, but if they write to that
diskette in a futile effort to fix it, it may make that diskette
useless for recovery by any other method.

Once you get the files onto your hard drive, 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.

In the future you will want to have more than one backup on more
than one set of media, but you figured that out already.
