"every Zip disk has a unique serial number" right you are. and it's easily viewable. it's where we go to set the drive sleep. with the disk inserted, open explorer. right-click your removable disk drive and choose properties. the 'disk' tab will give you the serial number. (and btw, this number did NOT coincide with the error message request number.) the diagnostics tab offers a test, but i've always been a bit skeptical about the integrity of that <g3>. :) mark

I would just bypass by downloading to HD The program and the file are already on the computer's C drive. Are you suggesting I make a copy of the file to a different location on the hard drive? Actually, the Zip drive appears to be overtaxing the computer that I am trying to use it on. What is puzzling, is that computer was my primary computer until a year ago and I had the zip drive working fine on it when I was using the computer. There have been some changes to the computer since then (probably the biggest change is someone else uses it).<G>
