Hello Jonathan,

Actually, when a disk is mounted (in this case the last of the set) I 
see a folder, an  .nbi file with the same name, and two different .txt 
files - one is NB and the other is ReadMe.  According to the ReadMe, the 
.nbi file (which is only on the last disk) is what is needed to do the 
restore since it is backup info.

So, trying to Open the .nbi gives me a message that there is "no 
application installed for this file type."

Checking the folder with the same name I see a series of sub-folders and 
if I go deep enough I can see some files (the icon looks like a 
partially opened box, I think) which all end with .odt.nco and  if I 
extract these to the Desktop OpenOffice  does open them.

However, you can imagine how tedious it would be to go through each and 
every folder showing on all 4 disks in order to find the files for the Mrs.
