Used norton, it found bad sector, clicked repair and it just showed up the same error next time I did a scan.

Was using NUM Emergency Disk.

Thinking of taking another approach, let me know if it would work.

Could I make a copy of the disk tools floppy (which sees my HDD and the docs I want) and put it on another floppy which isn't protected and copy the data accross using whatever free space is available?
