To all of you that replied, a big thank you.
VK2IO,VK2YPZ,DJ6HH,ZS6CFC,G4XNH etc and no doubt many more on the way.
Several of you made a comment about the 13GB drive being marked as active.
This is true, both drives have their first drive marked as active.
I tried FDISK to see if there is a way to turn off active on the 13GB drivebut
all you can do is make another logical drive active.
The only way to do it is delete a partition, which as as it deletes the data
on the disc defeats the purpose of the exercise.
I suspect that the operating system is loaded from the last active drive that
it finds.
I did notice something interesting. With Windows explorer the drives were
listed top to bottom as;
G
H
I
C
D
E
F (the cd drive)
G,H,& I (or was it J ?) are on the 80GB drive and cannot be accessed.
I am beginning to accept that what I want to do is impossible.
The easiest solution might be to put the drive in another computer and get the
data from it that way.
