Thanks, I ended up taking the easy way out and just used rsync. :) In the end I decided I didn't need a true copy of the FAT32 system. As long as I can get to data I'm happy, as I don't really need to run any programs (cross my fingers). Thanks again all for the advice. -- Jeff Macdonald Ayer, MA _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
