@ Jim:

Thanks.  Same picture, I just zoomed in a bit and played with the contrast.

Best of luck to you on your test!  I guess you will be radioactive for a little while then.  Hey, if we poured barium on our cells I wonder if..........

If you can get another drive, I would suggest installing the new drive as a slave and then ghosting the primary drive to it and then switch them out.  This will save you from installing everything again, unless, if you are having severe software probs, a clean install might work out better.  I run two drives for this reason.  I ghost from one drive to the other as a back-up (including boot files) and if my primary crashes, I just swap out to the secondary. Although I will admit to not backing up as often as I probably should.

Again, good luck on the tests.

Yes, Ghost is a Norton product.  There are several others out there that work fine as well.  Possibly Joe could recommend one over the other as he knows way more about this than I.  I thought about setting up the drives in the RAID configuration that mirrors the drives constantly, which is probably the best way, but I would have to purchase additional hardware and software which costs much more than the $40.00 or so for Norton Ghost, or similar product.

With your external drive, you could just copy your files for a back-up using XP's existing methods.  The only problem with this is, if the primary drive crashes, then changes, updates or tweaks you made to the OS will not be copied and will be lost.  Like I said, ask Joe.  I would be also interested in his opinion on this.

PS:  I am a Hack when it comes to computers.  I can usually get them to do what I want, and can modify hardware too, but, I do a lot of trial and error (mostly error) before success.  In other words, take computer advice from me at your own risk, Ha ha.

Thanks  Bill

I  don't like  microsoft  or norton  ...... I have been planning on  switching to  linux  because of them and   other overly money hungry  companies .
back up  programs  and  antivirus  are free or very cheep  in linux

my only  hold up  is I use a cell phone  card  as my modem ......I havn't found  a distro  that supports it  yet .

I am like  you .......  I  have learned all that  I know   about  computers at the   school of hard knocks ..... I  can ususally get  what I need to done ........if  my  computer  crashes  to bad I just reformat the drive .......
it may be getting near that point again .......it has  been  close to  2 years sense I have  reformated    if I remember right ........and firefox  is  starting to freeze at times

Your right who knows we could have.  Quick note the last good version of ghost was 11 corporate it still had a boot cd that was dos based and did all the normal functions- i hate the new gui in windows for it its next to useless because the drive is still in use , i use that version personally and professionally so that would be highly recommended.
