Dear Richard, You were very kind in helping me.....yes your advice WORKED!! I had waited 4 days for a call back from IOMEGA and was a bit discouraged, thank you again for your help. I have just a couple more questions, if I may?! Below is a section of my Autoexec.bat file....should I use the Windows or the DOS smartdrv? What should the numbers after the smartdrv be? How can I get smartdrv to buffer the D drive? How can I remove the write protect on the 100meg Zip disk? .........................................
