I would never be smart enough to build my own PC, but I have found that for trading the PC's sold at www.daytraderpc.com are great. Tech support is great, machine is great. Others I have talked to have also said the same thing about them. Brandon

wily, Thanks for the link back to the previous discussion. I'm encouraged to hear that the drive assignments I was seeing are normal. We did manage to get unique labels on all the partitions, which certainly helped in deciphering what was what. The old Maxtor C: partition is the one that in fact had the large number of bad clusters. The Maxtor D: showed 4096 bytes of bad area following the latest (very recent) scandisk. Those D: errors were not transferred to the new disk, I assume because that partition never really transferred with the diskcopy and because the D: partition on the new WD drive had to be redefined and reformatted before we could write anything to it. It sounds like if I research the jumper questions that maybe I can get both of these drives working after all. I may take one more shot at it. It seems odd to me that the OS doesn't allow you to control the drive designations. With all the shortcuts and path specific references hidden in a lot of installed software, this is a potential nightmare. Thanks for the help!! Dan
