Hello Netlanders!!!
I am using a Mac SE, system 6.0.5, 2.5 meg RAM and a 20 meg hard
drive.  I have a diskette that is unreadable, but I know
there is data on it, or at least there once was.  I am using SUM
II to try and recover the file(s) but cannot get my Mac to even
recognize there is a diskette that has a problem.  I
have inserted the diskette into my internal drive while holding
down the option key as was recommended by someone in my office,
but it is still won't recognize it.  If I do not hold down the
option key, I get a dialogue box asking me if I want to
initialize it.
Could someone of you kind souls help me out.
Thanks in advance, either post here or send mail to 
tpfender@ucsd.edu.  Would prefer mail as it would be speedier
for me to read.

Thanks
