I'm not sure about the "Valid" attribute, but I think that the dependency is about other extensions that are needed for that one to work. This is off memory, so I could certainly be wrong. I'm not sure that the extension would be able to diagnose as to whether the drive is in working order or not. This is purely speculation but I've never heard that specific extensions driving hardware are able to diagnose if the hardware is running fine or not. Is your LG drive working or not? -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
