Tim, I see from subsequent messages that you have resolved some of your problems. There is one statement in your message that bothers me, and I thought I'd comment on it. You stated: "Please don't tell me I have to back up my drive … Do I look like I'm made of disks?". Now, I can very well understand that sentiment (as I've two 320 meg hard disks – 1 on the Amiga and 1 on a PClone – which takes A LOT of disks to do a backup), but I think you're looking for trouble without any type of backup. Trust me, sooner or later, you will wish you had made the effort to take a periodic backup. It is inevitable. My advice is not coming from self-serving motives, but from a lot of experience with computers and hard-disks. While at one point, I was selling a commercial HD backup program, this is no longer the case and I have nothing to gain from your choosing to or not to backup your hard disk. But I sure don't want to be in a position of saying "I told you so" a month or seven from now. Hope this helps… …BobR White Wolf Productions
