Robert, are you able to view the disk? if so you can put them on your desktop and try a fresh copy from that direction. If the disk is corrupt, it most likely done with, but if you can access the files you can go from there. I just got home, so let me think about the options.

Register or LoginAbout four years ago, I ordered digital copies of the FAA's Low Altitude Enroute IFR maps L1 and L2 through the National Archives and a contractor who actually made the disks. The maps were in effect on November 24, 1971 and contained the navigational information that the NWA airliner would be using on it flight from Seattle to Reno.
When the contractor sent me the disks, they would not initially work on my computer. After quite a bit of work between the contractor and myself, we finally got the problem resolved. I made duplicate disks of both maps and sent them to Sluggo and he in turn posted them on his web page.
Recently, I tried to make duplicate copies of my "archive disks" in order to send the maps to the WSHM. But I have not been able to get any of the disks, which have worked in the past, to open. No reason for this can be determined. I am using the very same computer as before and only the normal upgrades to Windows 7 and to Internet Explorer 11 have been made.
I took the disks to one commercial shop and they told me the disks were corrupted. I have no idea how that could have happened and doubt if it did.
Do any of you computer wizards have a suggestion for correcting this problem?

Robert if you can copy the disk(s) and get me a copy I can have our best IT people look at it -
likewise several at Rockwell, etc. I can try to go beyond that, if required. Is the disk encoded?

Robert99: I didn't mean "missing minutes" to be taken literally, but rather figuratively as an unaccounted for "time frame for jump exit." The exact exit time for Cooper will never be known. The pilots did not log the time of the bump, and the bump isn't an absolute indication of him leaving the aircraft. There is speculation in play on Cooper's time of probable departure. And the money find at Tina's Bar is important to the case, but limited in value if you believe that it is direct evidence of the flight path. It is not. There is a chance that the money find was a cunnard. This case carries no ablsolutes. Alignment of factual evidence does not produce a clear solution. And if you think you know the solution, you still have a problem, because the factual evidence does not fall into place to bare out a clear conclusion.
Robert99:
I would be interested in knowing your definition of "factual evidence". How did you arrive at the conclusion that the money at Tina Bar may have been planted? I believe that both the FBI, specifically Larry Carr, and lawyers on this thread are very skeptical about the money being planted based on their experience with criminals.
Have you read Tom Kaye's conclusions about the Washougal wash down theory? Based on some tests Kaye did with actual paper money, he essentially states that the wash down theory doesn't wash.

McCoy's jump was at a higher altitude. would the noise they heard be different from 10,000 vs McCoy's jump. I don't recall the altitude at this moment. this article was from the Parachutist Website. they describe it differently.
Added: I just realized that last two paragraphs are mine. I made this a while back, didn't notice until I posted it.
