Geoffrey, you're doing it the old-fashioned and hard way... what is the maker of your new, bigger hard drive? You should look up the company website and download the hard drive installer software on their support page, which should give you a painless transition of moving all your data from the old to the new. Over a year ago, I upgraded my 3 GB drive to a 30 GB Western Digital model, d/l'ed their Western Digital's EZ-Installer program off WD's site, and it literally moved *everything* including the hidden stuff, to the new drive without having to XCOPY anything! Hope this little tip helps. ___Billy Wong___ BHS1989@xxxxxxxx http://www.angelfire.com/80s/billythekid16 To unsubscribe, send a message to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe juno_accmail" in the body or subject.
