Seems I've learned a few things from this "self induced" circumstance. I think
this all was primarily caused because the audio drive was full to capacity.
My problem started there and then worsened because I was trying to scandisk
a drive with no space which then snowballed.
Question for any of the "ole fogies" like myself using Win98se. What, if
anything works for Ghosting the drive?
