Re: HELP! Executor KILLS DATA!

My (Steff's) solution:
I was able to restore all data on the two cartridges with Norton Disk
Doctor (Buh, I'm lucky! Cliff, thanks a lot for your fast answer!!!).
But I still don't know the cause of the problem! I work a lot with the
cave survey program "Toporobot". Because I'm testing the compatibility
of that program to Executor I work with 'unfinished versions' and have
often a crash of Executor. Perhaps this could be the reason. I run
Executor under Windows 95 and I think it uses an internal disk caching
program. Should I use some special settings concerning Windows 95's disk
caching behavior ?
I have saved the log files of the data recovering my NDD. If this would
be helpful for anyone I could send it to him.
