Yes, ran docmem for several hours, no prob.

That's what I am about to do next.

My friend's business files. He's kinda nerveous now.

Last backup was 9 days ago. As a LAST resort I will restore
the tape to the all-in-one partition. He will lose 9 days of work.
Problem is the tape drive mfg went bankrupt, so NO support.
And ... disk has to be wipped first to install win2K from fresh,
then restore tape on top of it. If it succeeds fine but if it fails he
looses all data! I may need to break the mirrored array
(2 x 40GB in RAID 1) to backup data first. Another thing I
need to figure out. No easy path either.

True, but this is the situation we are facing now.

I just can't come closer to problem|cause. All solutions require a
running OS which we don't have and Recovery Console is limited.
