She may not be playing on the computer today and I don't know where she left off this morning. She was going to try a scan in Safe mode I think but the problem may be deeper and older than we thought. A different USB port, reloading the USB stack, checking the PS. She said that drive was two years old and only worked for about ten days before it quit. Me thinks a format is just the beginning? I would like to remove the drive from the enclosure and connect it directly to the controller to remove the middle man from the equation but that may not be possible? Time will tell............ I don't know what the weather situation is in Florida but Texas got slapped around a little. Those poor people can't win for losing! ------------------ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gman" <gman.pctt@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2008 3:23 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Sandy Drive > Not yet.
