Craig, One thing to try is to change the MaxTransfer value for your hard disk, using HDToolBox. I assume that you are using an IDE drive in your 4000 – many IDE drives (designed for the PC world) cannot handle large data transfers. Setting the MaxTransfer to 0xffff will get around this problem, if indeed it is what is causing your problems. Remember to reboot after changing the value in the RDB before trying it to see if it worked. I also strongly advise making sure you have a backup of your hard disk before changing anything in the RDB. Hope this helps…. – BobR
