If you notice, I didn't say there was anything wrong with quik. It works fine. But if the OF is cranky about reading the hard drive, then quik doesn't have much of a chance. On some machines/drives, it works fine once you get that script in there that loops waiting for the drive to come ready. On others it doesn't help. I guess you could say that if it works for you, stick with it. a
