The only reason I'd be leery of such a technique would be various idiosyncracies specific to the BIOS of the laptop in comparison to the desktop, where it saw the drive slightly differently. As I mentioned earlier, by far the most elegant method if your Tpad supports it, is to get the "2nd HD adapter", and mount both HD's at the same time on the laptop. Very elegant solution. I'm pretty sure the Tpad 600's have that option, I don't know about the A20M. The A20M is more monolithic and less modular than the 600's, T20's, etc. Phil -- Philip J.
