| Re: Money 98 corrupting backup disks With the disks being a couple years old, I'd try some new disks first. I think the problem is most likely occurring because the disks are old.

| Re: Money 98 corrupting backup disks The disks are a few years old, but have only been used once. They had some old documents on them, so I formatted them before using them as Money backup disks. Single disk backup. The one interesting thing is that all of the disks I've had trouble with had documents from the same place (my brother's law practice) on them. Could his computer have screwed them all up? - quote - > -----Original Message----- > How old are these floppy disks?
