Jon, Ooh. Thanks a bunch.

Question: 1) I have 120 G hard drive. So, what new one I'll buy so that Paragon can be there in the new one besides my stuff. In other words, does paragon software needs space or it works off CD drive?

2) What maker you recommend? Western, maxtor, etc.?

3) Can I boot off the new drive through USB connection and do my work normally while waiting for the new hard drive to come and get installed?

4) My computer is working fine so far. Afraid to restart it though. If I copy now, will that bad segment give trouble in the new drive too?

Thanks a bunch.

Memorex? ROFL. Shows our age. <vbg>

For my part, I have 2 fully functional systems (two different installs) and all data and settings synchronized at least every week. (Four, as they both are at least double-boot).
OSes on other partitions, with one primary partition usused.
Then burning CD's every now and then.
Never more than a couple of hours away from working. (Need a couple of hours to asses that there is a problem).

Jon, Just one more question. If I go with Paragon, what product I buy for win xp pro disk drive. Their website is confusing to dummys like me. No phone support either.

Thanks for all your help.
Regards.

As a longer-term solution, I highly recommend getting two of the drive trays that will allow you to plug your drives in and out

compgeeks.com

Something akin to these for $6.90 ea.?, Nice.
