I recall doing such things with the 5.25" disk drives, but never really got into doing those things with the 3.5" drives. And do you have a system with version 7 installed? Have you played around with version 7? There's just too many different versions of one operating system around. Even with a silly "Feisty Fawn" named Ubuntu thing. Anyone else messing with Ubuntu? So far all I've got a command line that accepts the following commands: ls cd sudo and a few others. -- Jim Carlock North Carolina Swimming Pool Builders http://www.aquaticcreationsnc.com/
