Thanks, Ron. I just ran it and got this message:

Drive C: can't be used
NDD will not work with drives having more than 8K bytes per sector or 16K bytes per cluster

Thanks again! I found a web site that purported to have NU8 and downloaded it:

Edit by rr: removed link to abandonware site

Do you have any idea what that means?
