    Any help left?

    yes under warranty, and they have a clause to replace it, but they keep making excuses " Oh its a different problem this time" when actually its the same problem, they just never completely write down on the order exactly what I tell them

    MULTIPLE restore installs?

    yeah basically identical. I dont need ALL the programs on each system, but might as well to make things easier. I figure up to 5 gigs of programs. and I guess xp is about 1.5 gig, right? so maybe about 10 gigs needed.

    Why cant xp do this?

    Do what? Plug in 2 drives to usb. Copy files from 1 drive to the other. Many here will say it can. But I'm talking about real use drives, with thousands of files. Always hangs. Beth

    RAID boot - Triple partition

    Thanks alot. I see your point. I just formatted and gave xp 15 gig partition, on a 80 gig drive I dont see how windows can format both partitions during install. Can I format the other partition after install? thanks Beth

    SATA or EIDE ?

    Thanks. I realize now I will have to stay with EIDE. Because I run a couple systems, some older, and have to transfer files with USB. thats mainly what I use the drives for. So, I gather it wouldnt work hooking a SATA drive up, by USB , to a non Sata mother board, right? Beth

    Tweak Install to SAVE time?!

    [Reconsider your stance on Service Pack 2.] Okay, I will. I thought it was mainly security stuff. Sounds like it might fix alot of USB problems I note xp has. Beth
