/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!/
