Hehe at one stage I was actually resuming on one hard drive, putting the other one in to do some things, taking that out and putting the original back in and resuming where the original left off. As for that black plastic thing, I left it in purely so when I was putting the drive in and out it wouldn't stick to the remaining sticky back stuff that was left on that metal plate but I'm deciding if I should get rid of that black plastic thing so I'd get better heat transfer through the bottom of the case ... I've had to sit the thing on end when I do big file transfers to stop it going into thermal shutdown (its alright when its running normally and I run Rain in the background). Of course, its the CPU and PCMCIA device thats tripping the thermal shutdown but I can't help but wonder if having better heat transfer on the HDD might help ... opinions anyone? - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
