Thank's Jack! I would attempt that BUT my husband made me promise not to even
attempt to open the case of the new pc,I made him mad just trying to vac the
dust and dog hair from the back of it. He is still mad at me for opening the
msntv2 to "peek inside"!<grin>
I had wondered if I could rig the zip disc up and make it run via a usb connect
somehow but I suspect the answer would be no. I look at it as an adventure,and
the small maxtor hd's are cheap.The old pc is destined for the the recycle bin
anyway.I was thinking about painting the old monitor black and seeing if I
could make an aquarium out of it as I can't even give it away!

Or you could pull the zip drive out of the broken computer and if you working
computer has only one HD installed you could install it in that one. The zip
drive should use standard IDE drive connections so it would be similar to
installing a HD except it would mount in a diskette drive bay. Just a thought.

Well I ordered the FREE for the pc one anyway. I know I tend to bite off more
than I can chew,but my 1st 2 pc's were old school pc's I paid (was ripped off)
$150.00 and then another $75.00 for and the hd's went out a month later. One
has been setting in the spare bedroom and so I opened her up and got the old
maxtor hd out and am going to order one on ebay and see if I can get it
installed and thought I would put ubutu on it to play with.It has a zip disc
drive and I invested in a bunch of em and have a lot of graphics on them and
can't get the graphics back unless I get the pc running.:0(
I did take the looong download of gimp once,but lost it when Dell walked me
through deleting my hd,and I saw ubuntu comes with it. I have a PAID for Paint
Shop Pro 8 and enjoy graphics and animation as a creative outlet....so I'm
gonna get it and give it a go.
Thank's to all for the input....I will keep it away from my new lil
dell.<wink>I've always been one that has to learn everything the hard way! Of
course I have a vcr that is ruined because I decided to open it and play.I
guess I figure....I can afford it.Hehe,I saved the uninstall link! Thank's.
Thank's for the welcome backs to !
