It would be greatly appreciated if someone could advise me on how to adopt the suggestion in this message received when I attempt to copy a cd ``It looks like both your source and your destination drive are connected to the same ide bus. We would strongly recommend to connect your source and your destination drive to different ide buses.'' I'm running a Presario 5827, 500 mhz, 96 mb, Windows se with an internal cd-rw. Thanks in advance for your help and have a nice day. Don Hoyt Do you want to signoff PCBUILD or just change to Digest mode - visit our web site: http://freepctech.com/pcbuild.shtml
