Now you're starting to get off task... How can you sync something if you don't know if it matches? Sure, you can only go off timestamps - but what then? It leaves you with a situation where you may get files that are different and you'll never know. You'd be much better off getting a better flash drive (ie not add hack upon hack that may not help) and fixing the root cause of the problem. Hell, get a small laptop HDD and put it in a USB caddy case. Get a small SSD (they're cheap!) and put that in a case... -- Steven Haigh Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 Fax: (03) 8338 0299
