Thanks Bruce. And since I've decided to replace the other drive too, as a precaution (they're both 5 years old), I guess I'll do that twice, once with each drive. Then I'll be back to where I was originally, before the drive failure, only with new drives instead of old ones. Tom

Come to think of it, Bruce, both drives, the dead one and the one still running, have (had) bootable 10.5s on them. Which means that when Time Machine restores the second drive, it will bring in another OS on top of the freshly installed one. I wonder if that will be a problem. Will the two OSs
