Well, under optimal circumstances, it wasn't the master disk.  You never
should use the master disk for anything other than keeping a new clean copy
out of the way so if you mistype the name, or lose it, or get a bad virus, 
etc. you have a clean copy to replace it with.

However, It's been a while since I've done this, but I think there is 
a length byte before each of the two lines.  (Don't quote me on this).
