Sounds Great! We do have ghost installed on this
machine. Only reason I'm changing hard drives is that the
10 gig is full and I don't want to have to reinstall all
the junk that is on that hard drive. I'll do more looking
into the Ghost program to see how to get it to work for my
needs. Thanks again and any more suggestions is greatly
appreciated. This is what they get when they put a
firefighter in charge of repairing computers, me asking
everyone for help. I know how to put the wet stuff on the
wet stuff, not repair a boot sector or merge data,
etc...lol Thanks again!!!
