TECH: Disk error

[Kay Goss <fup001@MAIL.CONNECT.MORE.NET>]

I frequently lose data for my electronic card catalog that I first save to a
disk, then merge, then reindex.  My tech said to always format the disk on
the machine on which you work, even if it says formatted.
I have a Windows 95 IBM compatible on a Windows NT network.  My cataloging
system is CALICO Lion.

Sometime into the save I get failure to write to disk,or write protection
fault, work may be lost. Abort, retry or fail?

Any words of wisdom?  Any certain 3.5" disks to avoid?


TIA
