Finished the clone process and all's well ...hooked the old drive to my desktop machine and "cloned" it to my 120gb ext USB drive (fully compressed took 16gb while the drive was 40gb and was almost full with ~2gb left) ...clone successful and formatted the 40gb drive now having a handy backup drive for my laptop!!

Since the Apricorn drive needs 2 USB connections (1 data, 1 power) and the x31 has 2 usb2 ports and the CD-ROM also needs to be connected (IBM external usb2 multiburner) it's quite a headache! Was on the fone with Apricorn for over an hour but they are patient and stick with it until you succeed. They need a detailed FAQ for the x series that do not have an internal optical drive. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
