Losing drives when moving a machine happened to me twice last year. Once when moving my machine across the room to a new desk and then again when we moved to another apartment (Just before Rita and just after Katrina). Now that I think of it, there were 2 additional crashes, one of which was related to a PC upgrade 2 weeks ago. But out of four dead drives I only needed to replace 2 of them fortunately. I have had suspicions that voltage fluctuations have been leading to drive crashes here. I never had such problems previously and even the nice little UPS I have my PC on (the other PCs are on their own <G>) has not been helpful, though I fully expected that it would. xponent Hard On Hard Drives Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
