Dave, You sound pretty relaxed about your HDD problem, from which I infer that there's nothing life-critical on the drive. I've had so many traumatic HDD experiences that I run not walk to the store for a new drive as soon as mine so much as hiccups. I've also learned not to play with my HDDs. They don't like that. I like the idea of using a hard drive for removable storage, as a poster mentioned a few weeks ago. That way, you have a HDD ready to go when your current drive starts messing up. Just leave a large primary partition empty on the backup drive to receive the OS. He uses a removable-drive-bay to make backing up easy. I take it you have PartitionMagic. It's my ace in the hole for dealing with computers. wily
