GMan, I am working on dropping the many DBX files on the memory stick. I am carefully following your directions & it all seems to be going over fine. But, it is taking forever to make the copies. I think the hour is as such that we should pick up where we left off this evening.

The only absolutely, positively sure way I know of to do this properly is to (in Windows Explorer) select all of the files in your OE storage folder, use your RIGHT mouse button to grab one of the highlighted files and, while holding down the mouse button, drag them over to the icon in the Left pane of Explorer that represents the USB key. Once you're hovered over the USB key icon, The icon's title will change colors. Let go of the mouse button and choose Copy from the context menu that opens. You want to make sure that you select Copy from that menu because we don't want to disturb the original files until we know for sure that the files copied over to the new system perfectly. When you're finished with these instructions, you should have the files located in both the original Storage folder as well as the USB key. Let me know when you're ready for more. :O] Peace, GMan -- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
