My understanding is that this "ploy" is exactly that. It is good for retrieving your data and letting you put it on another drive. It is not a long term solution. I have never had to freeze a drive, but likely something bad is going on with your drive. I would not depend on it. It might be ok for temporary storage of non-essential data or as a scratch disk. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
