Best regards...Harold W I do seem to be using the list frequently of late and thankfully it is there when disaster strikes us all! Another query I have now is.......Today I got infected with some "Highly Critical" virus which absolutely trashed the hard drive. Fortunately I had a "Clone" of this drive which I had made a few weeks ago and which is now installed as the Master drive....so all is well in that respect. So my question: Is it safe to put the infected hard drive as a slave to this master drive so that I can completely format it to get rid of the virus and put it back into use, or is there a danger of, by doing so, that it might infect it's master by being on the same cable, so to speak. Help please....Thank you Harold W ========================= The list's FAQ's can be seen by sending an email to PCWorks-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with FAQ in the subject line.
