Hello all, and Edgar in particular,

It turns out that you were on the right track about
Norton creating invisible files. A friend suggested
that I search for files over a certain size, and sure
enough, a 278 MB file showed up! It had been created
by System Info, and when that program froze, it didn't
get a chance to delete the file. I promptly trashed
it, and everything's back to normal again. Thank you
for your help!

Despite the happy ending, this latest adventure with
my hard drive got me thinking about backing up my
files. I currently have only a few floppies with my
documents and a couple of hard-to-replace applications
backed up on them. What's my best option for archiving
with my 2300c? External hard drive? Zip drive? Is
there a CD burner available for my machine? 

Peter
