It's easy. Simply get both drives working then drag the icon of the old drive onto the new drive. Everything will be copied into a folder on the new drive. That folder will have the same name as the old drive, plus there will be a Desktop Folder inside the drive named folder. Open the new drive then move everything _except_ Desktop Folder out of the folder with the old drive's name to the "root level" which is the first window you see when you double click a drve icon. Now shut down, disconnect the old drive, set the new drive to SCSI ID# 0 and enable its termination. Boot up and move everything from that Desktop Folder out to the desktop. Now you can trash the folder with the old drive's name. Your aliases will (should) still work. ===== "If knowing is half the battle, why aren't all battles half as long?" __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
