Of the three, if you can get a HD of a size equal to or greater than your 3400's HD, then you can do a complete backup to the HD, including having all the utilities you want installed. Just boot from the external drive when necessary. - Eric. -- Eric Strobel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ===================================================================== I'm always forgetting that I have short term memory loss... ===================================================================== -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
