With both drives mounted and running Linux, it's okay. Same 2 drives mounted, but running Win2k, it's not okay. Will look into setting up samba, but I'm limited to one laptop, 3 physical drives and a secondary drive-tray. I'm travelling currently so away from home base. And don't expect to return for months. I just thought of tarring all the files under Linux and seeing if it extracts okay under Win2k. I'll be back... "Boxen" ??? Bwahaahaahaahaahaahaa!!!
