Rick Glazier asks:
  I REALLY should have done this a long time ago.
Other than being "in the dark" then, I have only
one important question. Is it just as safe, with no
hidden draw backs or pitfalls waiting to "get" me?

OK I lied, the second question is: Will all "manor"
of HD controller hardware (and HD software drivers) handle
this type of configuration the same at all times?
Part two is a "go try it" question, sorry...   ;-)))      Rick
