FINALLY!!! I'm not sure how I did it because I sort of remember following your directions on my own, i.e.: I know what "restore" means!

Regardless, I did RESTORE my data - wasn't much but, now I can begin again 

I appreciate all of you trying to help.  BTW, anybody going to be at the Dixie Center in Saint George tomorrow, 9-15?

Okay, folks,

First of all thank you for responding - I really appreciate your efforts!

I cannot even open the disk BUT on the bottom of what I somehow copied onto my desktop (I now concede that I am a bit of a flake!), it says 2012-01-02.rmgb

I tried to uncheck the "Read Only" but it was in gray and I could not click the square to remove it.

Since the extension is "rmgb," I should put the disk in while RM is open?  That should be obvious but the last time I put a recover disk in, all kinds of crazy things happened, i.e.: I could not access my hotmail.com emails.  I was even told that hotmail had been merged into Outlook.

Here's a thought: I'm going to the genealogy convention here in Saint George, UT on Friday and Saturday.  If I took my new RM7 and the backup CD, maybe they could help?

Thanks guys,

Barbara
