Paul, I can not recall the full reason when I tried this, it was quite a while ago. It was documented on the internet somewhere and I am sure Ronni may be able to explain. I just gave up as there were other easy alternatives open to me. Regards Severin On 13/05/2011, at 4:34 PM, Paul

Hi Ronni I'd say yes to the first. The second I can't see what difference it would make to them. Normally a hard drive is a hard drive (I know there are differences between them with models and specs and speeds and features), so I don't really understand this one. I can't see what impact it
