And that could very well be the problem. The two machines that restore
OK are my WEB access and file storage. Those very seldom change. Those
backups were made back when the subject was fresh and I was more
careful. Now it is just run a CMD. I may very well have run it on an
active boot partition. Time to put a warning in the CMD.

I boot, format and run an unzip CMD from floppy.
