Thanks for the information Russ, Yes many search suggested the disable. I had no disk in the machine before the rebuild so I wonder what it is reading? Actually I do use floppies quite frequently since they are small media, I like to keep everything separate so if a media dies, I won't loose everything. From the floppies then I do a master backup as a secondary precaution. Cub Cubbettee PCSOFT's List Owners: Bob Wright<[log in to unmask]> Mark Rode<[log in to unmask]>
