   Roy and Tom,   
      
   I haven't tried Restoring that Gigantic backup but I'd figure if   
   True Image can Write it to a HDD, it can also Read it if I ever   
   needed to.   
      
   As I wrote earlier, that drive is in the box it came in and I'm too   
   lazy to connect it, and unplug the CAT-5 wire going to the XP box,   
   so that drive is isolated from the outside world.   
      
   Yes, when I make backups now, the computer I'm making the backup on   
   isn't connect to the internet.
