1. JAZ OR ZIP DRIVE USERS
-------------------------
Once you reach the DOS prompt A:\, you will need to do the following
if you have either an Iomega/Epson Zip SCSI or Jaz SCSI drive.  Copy
GUEST.EXE from your Iomega tools directory or disk to Lost & Found
Disk 1.  You can also run GUEST.EXE before you start Lost & Found
to assign a drive letter to your Jaz or Zip drive.

If you have an Iomega/Epson Zip or Jaz parallel port drive, you will
need to keep the Iomega/Epson Zip Windows/DOS Install Disk handy.
Upon reaching the DOS prompt A:\, you must remove the Lost & Found
Disk 1 and insert the Iomega/Epson Zip Windows/DOS Install Disk.  Type
"guest," and the program will assign your removable Zip or Jaz drive
a drive letter.  After the guest program has completed, reinsert your
Lost & Found Disk 1 and start Lost & Found.



2. SYQUEST REMOVABLE DRIVE USERS
--------------------------------
Follow the same procedure as for Jaz and Zip drives, but substitute
VISITOR.EXE for GUEST.EXE.  Note: The SyQuest Sparc parallel drive is
not supported at this time.  Also see Known Issues for further
information on working with parallel port drives.



3. LS-120 DRIVE USERS
---------------------
To recover files from an LS-120 drive, you should avoid loading any
DOS drivers which shipped with your drive.  Lost & Found will see your
drive whether or not there are drivers loaded for the LS-120. We have
seen some drivers which cause an unusual double drive situation where
the LS-120 receives two entries in the source/destination selection
windows.  In this case, when recovering files, you should select the
entry marked LS-120.

To recover to an LS-120 drive, the real mode (DOS) drivers may need
to be loaded by the operating system at boot time.  This usually
involves loading the .SYS file in the CONFIG.SYS.  Installing the
drivers under DOS should configure this for you.  If you do have to
use a driver to be able to write to your LS-120 drive under DOS, you
may see two entries for the LS-120 in the source/destination selection
window.  When selecting it as the destination, choose the option which
reflects the drive letter that was assigned to the drive when the
driver was loaded.  In other words, select the drive letter which you
would normally select under DOS to write to the LS-120.



4. SCSI DEVICES
---------------
For your convenience, we have secured a license from Adaptec, Inc. to
provide ASPI drivers in case you have SCSI disks.  Lost & Found will
detect the drives and load the appropriate ASPI driver.  Lost & Found
will attempt to load ASPI4DOS.SYS, ASPI7DOS.SYS, and ASPI8DOS.SYS.  If
your SCSI card is not covered by one of these ASPI drivers, you will
need to manually load the necessary ASPI driver for your SCSI card
before running Lost & Found.



5. DRIVE OVERLAYS
-----------------
If your hard disk was formatted using Ontrack Disk Manager or
Micro House EZ-Drive, Lost & Found will recognize this and adjust
accordingly.



6. RECOVERING FILES FROM UNKNOWN AND HIDDEN PARTITIONS
------------------------------------------------------
To recover files from FAT partitions which have been hidden or
labeled as an unknown type, choose to analyze the entire drive when
given the choice.  Doing so will allow Lost & Found to analyze data
stored in areas of the drive that are not visible to DOS and do
not have a drive letter.



7. POWERSAVER MODE AND SUSPEND CAUSING HANGING
----------------------------------------------
If powersaver mode for the hard drive is enabled in the BIOS, the
machine may hang while Lost & Found is running.  Some hard drives,
when put in sleep mode by powersaver utilities, will not spin back
up when a call is made to them; others will.  If you are experiencing
this problem, we suggest disabling powersaver mode for the duration of
the analysis and re-enabling it when you have recovered your data.



8. KNOWN ISSUES
---------------

  A. Parallel port drives
  -----------------------
  Lost & Found is unable to recover from certain parallel port
  drives, but you can still recover files to parallel port drives
  by selecting the Removable R/W entry in the Destination Drive
  Selection window.  Selecting the Removable R/W entry as the source
  will cause errors or hanging.

  B. Systems with more than 64 MB of RAM
  --------------------------------------
  On systems with more than 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM, Lost & Found
  will incorrectly display the amount of memory available in the
  bottom right corner of the screen.  This is due to the DOS
  extender which is used to enable a 32-bit environment under DOS.
  This will not affect data recovery.

  C. Large clusters on small partitions
  -------------------------------------
  If you have enlarged the clusters of a relatively small partition,
  Lost & Found will mark the FAT for the partition as bad.  A message
  stating that an invalid number of sectors per FAT has been found
  will appear.  Lost & Found will then assign the value of 32 to the
  sectors per FAT. This will not prevent data recovery.

  D. Gateway systems and error 900H
  ---------------------------------
  There is currently an incompatibility which exists between certain
  Gateway laptops and Lost & Found.  On these systems, Lost & Found
  will produce the following error:  ERROR 900H. DRIVE READ ERROR.
  UNKNOWN ERROR CODE RETURNED BY BIOS.  We are evaluating solutions
  to this incompatibility at present, but this version of Lost &
  Found will not be able to recover data from Gateway laptops which
  produce this error.
