I am running a laptop and have about 150 gigson my d drive; Now, on my c drive, I have about 45 gigs. All my progs are on c but am wondering if I could take everything off of c if need be; and, put it on the d drive? No, I take that back; I'll leave all my trogs on the c drive and if the c drive fails me, can I go to the d drive to run the progs I tranferred to the d drive? This is a litle confusing but would the d drive act like a expernal hard drive? If the c drive gives out, will I be able to start up the d drive and go on as usual whilst I was in the c drive?I doubt very much that I can do this but just inquiring in hope that someone would keep me on the straight and narrow; Ken b For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
