    /Not to worry Claude, I took the drives out and with my magnifier I
    can deal with things like that.  I tried CS, etc., different cables,
    one drive works, the other doesn't, I also had a third that would
    not open it's "cup holder," verified it was bad and tossed it.  The
    bad one is in warranty and I saved the sales slip./

    /Next to try and breath life into Windows 2000 pro/ntfs again, an
    effort I am ill equipped for but will attempt the "repair" function
    next, whatever that does.  The twins can't live without their
    games.  I did the right thing when I included an FC6 partition for
    troubleshooting!/

    /Thanks./
