Mission accomplished! Thanks to all who contributed on this item. Booting the Pismo from a CD and mounting the Cube HD on the Pismo desktop worked like a charm. I now understand the difference between server and client! Thanks again for the good advice.

Anyone think how I could make a complete > backup of my Pismo System Folder, complete with all the extensions? Thanks. Charlie: It sounds to me like you mounted the Pismo on the Cube. You then dragged files *from* the Pismo to the Cube. Whenever you copy System files from a server you will get the "in use" errors. However, if you reverse the server and client, you will have no problem. Do this: 1) Mount the Cube on the Pismo 2) Drag the Pismo System Folder to the Cube All should proceed as desired. BTW, it's still a good idea to make an emergency CD. -Mick -- -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
