I have a copy of DBT on my computer at work and one on my old desktop here at
home however the desktop died a rather sad death nearly a year ago now. I
thought I had DBT installed here on my notebook however last night when I tried
to work with a .DXB file sent here from work I discovered I hadn't installed
DBT. Tonight I brought home the floppy diskettes to install, three of the four
appear to be in good condition however the first one with set-up on it doesn't.
The computer complains that the diskette is not formatted and offers to do so
for me. I also discovered then that there isn't apparently a scandisk utility
on XP pro. In fact neither of the two usual disk utilities, defrag or disk
cleanup can be pointed to the USB floppy drive. I was hoping that a touch of
the old scandisk might render the diskette readable. All it wants to do is
format or not.
Unfortunately the materials I wanted to print are needed for my trip to Houston
tomorrow morning so that is out, I mostly just wanted to rearrange it a little
for embossing on my double sided printer here, I can and will use the single
sided copy I made at work. More usually now I use the software that came with
the Index D here at home but only DBT recognizes the .DXB file.
Anyway, I believe this is version 10.2, it was purchased in December 1999.
Some day I will buy a newer version, I would really like to be able to emboss
directly from Word which is why I prefer the Index software here but for now
this will have to do!
The license disk and disks 2 and 3 appear to be fine. This has been sitting on
a shelf now for nearly 5 years tucked away in the binder. Aren't CDs a
wonderful improvement?
When I get back I will try touching it up with Scandisk at work but I am not
hopeful.
Thanks for any information or advice.
