You don't need the toolkit to back up to your new WD drive. The USB drive referenced here is the Pen drive that is made in various sizes from 32MB 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and on up by gigabytes from there. The guy loaded some utilites on the 32MB pen drive, cobbled up a menu for the utilities and called it a toolkit. It's great for something like that because you can carry it in your shirt pocket so you always have it handy. It plugs into a USB socket on your machine so you can run any of the apps he's listed on that web page. Clever idea ! Pen drives are coming down in price since the holidays so everyone has several. http://www.meritline.com/usbpendrive.html Boy's toys but you can play too if you want ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 1 Feb 2007 17:48:08 EST, CRAZYDOVE@xxxxxxx said: > > Joe..I bought a WD USB hard drive for backing up my main pc's.
