Just remember that the prolems you are having with the various cables and plugs have nothing to do with Vista. If you would uninstall it and install anyother operating system, the cable and plug problems would still be there.

If it was not for the 40 gig showing up I would never have recovered the data I was so desperate to save. Here I do not even understand how to plug in a new drive? Is this a new type of inputs for the drive? I think I used the inputs for the next cdrw type drive, I could not see a way of inputting new drives but by the 2 wires I described already. I can see your one very smart woman and please let me say I enjoy your input. What would you think? Is this a SATA type drive or something else? Would it be possible it input my other of 2 cdrw's or my other drive without to much trouble? Wires everywhere, even where I thought the hard drives went......YUCK....VISTA my you have diarrhea for a month! Oh Hun if I could ( To move Data ) But ya may be seeing me for the cables......Get into the old west :-), The old computer is a bust! The hubby threw out the old computer but I still have the drives and CDRW's God Bless Becky -- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
