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 in order to assign a drive letter to
your Jaz and/or Zip drives.

If you have an Iomega/Epson Zip or Jaz Parallel Port drive, you will need
to keep your Iomega/Epson Zip Windows/DOS Install Disk handy.  Upon reaching
the DOS prompt A:\ you will need to remove your Lost & Found Disk 1 and insert
your Iomega/Epson Zip Windows/DOS Install Disk.  Type in "guest" and the
program will assign your removable Zip or Jaz a drive letter.  After the guest
program has completed, re-insert 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. The SyQuest Sparc parallel drive is not supported at this time.



3. 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 needed
ASPI driver for your SCSI card.



4. DRIVE OVERLAYS
-----------------
If your hard disk was formatted using Ontrack Disk Manager or Microhouse EZ-
Drive, Lost & Found will notice and adjust accordingly.



5. RECOVERING FROM UNKNOWN AND HIDDEN PARTITIONS
------------------------------------------------
To recover files from FAT partitions that have been mistakenly labeled as
an unknown type or simply hidden, choose to analyze the entire drive when
given the choice. This will allow Lost & Found to analyze data stored in areas
of the drive that aren't visible to DOS and don't have a drive letter.



6. KNOWN ISSUES
---------------

  A. Unknown partition types on the destination drive
  ---------------------------------------------------
  When a destination drive has an unknown partition as its first partition,
  Lost & Found may incorrectly see that drive as having a damaged partition
  table. The drive can then be selected as a destination drive and the disk
  analysis will run, but when the disk analysis has completed, Lost & Found
  will return an error. A workaround for this is to select a different drive,
  if possible.

  B. Floppy issues
  ----------------
  The root directory and FAT are not being found or used on 3.5" floppies. All
  files found will show up in yellow (possible recovery).

  If a 3.5" floppy has no subdirectories on it and only files stored at the
  root, Lost & Found may not find any files on the floppy or report that none
  of the files can be recovered.

  C. Compressed backup savesets
  -----------------------------
  When making a compressed backup saveset, the remaining capacity field will
  flash between the real capacity and a false number. At the end of the process
  the correct number will be displayed. This will not affect the recovery.

  D. 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 that we are using
  to enable a 32-bit environment under DOS. This will not affect the recovery.
