To my Brethren and Sisters of the Bar,
I am a struggling young attorney in the States. I have worked hard at acquiring and perfecting "Boiler Plate" forms for my clients. I recently had a virus (even with weekly updates of Norton2001) which forced me to have reformat my hard drive. I thought I had backed up my forms to floppy disks, but all I get is disk not formatted, yet when I check its Properties is either full or just about. I don't know if It is in a FAT32 format, or not. I don;t even know what Fat 32 means unless it is describing my waist. I have been told that some where in an archive or DOS program my files rest. I would like to perform a Lazarian task and raise them from the dead. Is this true, and if so, how does a novice do it? Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Sincerely
Richard S. Donohue Esq.
