Hi Donna,

This is an operating system message, nothing to do with Word. You will need
to find a disk drive on a computer that can read the disks. I realise that
it is easier said than done. Maybe some disk recovery software might be
able to extract the files for you.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
