Please help, thank You very much Good X-mas Good 1999 an other question I actually have, is it sure that the drive only "runs" if needed and if not needed is in , let say , "sleep-mode". The drive is for sound- and harddisk-recording and I don't use it very often, but if I use it i mean it does make a "start-run" noise -- Peter
