Thank you Aaron and Dan for your offers to help.   Honestly, I
doubt I can determine which disc it was on.  I have learned a lot
since then, but at the time I thought "erased" meant erased so I
doubt I would have labeled it or set it aside.   It's bound to
happen again someday (knock on wood):  when it does I'll call
one of you.
Thanks again,
John
