Hi Steve, and others who may have a comment......First thanks for your inputs.....I have had a PC since about 1991 (386 vintage).....been through the 486 to the now Pentium II..in all that time I have never had a HD failure, although reports of them by others are legion. I am about to ask an incredibly naive question......what does a HD failure consist of? Is it the mechanical failure of the drive? Or is it something else? tia

Hi Steve, Bob Norman found a slick CD-Rom-RW program which lets you select the stuff you want to back up. It checks the date/time of the last change and if there's a newer date on the HD, it copies it to the CD-RW. He then backs up everything every day just by dropping in the last CD and writing over it with the new stuff. Maybe he'll post the name for us. Best regards, Tom
