If what you want is simply STORE that stuff on removable drives, and do not pretend to USE those files on line, you may well compress those files into a set of diskettes. Later you can extract some particular file from the set, back to your hard disk. Use WINZIP (you can download a trial version from www.download.com)to compress those files, with destination diskette A:\nameyouwant.zip, and check that the field "Multiple disk spanning" is set to "Automatic". Then Winzip will ask you to insert disk 1, disk 2..etc. To restore them just use Winzip to open the zipped file in A:, it will ask you to insert disk 1, disk 2, etc. You also can do this with the old PKZIP.EXE in MS-DOS mode, in a command like this: PKZIP -R&P A:NAME C:\YOURFOLDER\*.*, and to restore them, PKUNZIP A:NAME c:\yourfolder\yourfile Always remember that each diskette stores 1.4 MB,so if you have 30 MB to store, probably they will be compressed to 3 MB and require 3 diskettes. If you have 300 MB compressed to 30 Mb, you will need 22 diskettes, and so on. Saludos - Andrés
