If this backup is OEM set that you can make when you first get up and running...normal way to use is boot from number 1 disk and follow instructions to insert next disk...

I do recall during backup, to insert next disk, I am sorry that's all I remember. Being 79 years old is quite challenging.

Gentleman, do you think my problem here can be solved or am I dead in the water?

If the computer boots to the desktop and shuts down properly, I think you should find and install programs you use...

Ok I can do that, except the programs I have not been unable to recover are far more then what I have ready available.. In fact two of the programs I paid for, one being an Office program. Is there any hope for regaining them.?
