Yeppie!!!! That worked. It did upgrade recently and I had to re-add the other drive lines back but I don't recall changing that part. The upgrade is the reason I tested it. I wanted to make sure it still worked, before a drive dies and I'm caught off guard, again. I figured it would be something simple that I just didn't notice. Thanks much. :-D Dale :-) :-)
