: Hey Mark

: I need to replace the hard drive on my laptop and therefore need to save my investment data to a floppy or a re-writeable CD. I would like to be able to back up all data I entered for 50 investemts as well as back up the historical prices I downloaded, some of which go back 10 years.

: I tried save the master portfolio to a floppy disk but a message appeared saying "Attempted to copy file but unsuccesful. After aborting, a message appeared saying "Able to back up 15."

Was this from within FM?

: I have a disk burner and can save some types of files to a re-writable CD. Excel and Word files can be saved but Quicken files apparently cannot be saved and restored in Quicken.

:
: It appears that my investment data and the corresponding historical prices were saved for 15 investments. I guess I could save investemts 10 investemnts at a time. What is the best way to save my data and then restore on my new hard drive?

: Thanks

You can just copy all of your investment (*.dat) and portfolio (*.mm4) files
to a removable media and then copy back to your new hard drive.

Thanks,
Mark
