Pardon me for saying so, but your post makes no sense whatsoever. What
backup program are you using? Are you talking about multiple *sessions*
and not being able to access certain files from those sessions? You
refer to "reformatting" the disc. How did you format it to begin with?
What's preventing you from just erasing the disk and starting over,
especially if you're not concerned about losing files?
