   Thank You!, I am not real familiar with Linux but I have tinkered with it   
   once in a while since U'u 7.04 .   
      
   I don't have any problem using dd in the U'u Terminal as I'm still use   
   CMD a lot on this XP box. (I started out learning CBM BASIC on a C=64)   
      
   I will try dd to do the job with my two USB HDD Adapters.   
      
    BR> p.s. you could also boot a live linux CD and use it that way.   
      
   I have a U'u 10.04 LTS ISO I can RUN in a VM, so I will try using dd that   
   way.   
      
   I did try a few days ago to see if I could run the Acer Recovery CD   
   in U'u 10.04 and fix the old HDD but I ran out of time and had to shut the   
   computer down that night.   
      
   I am a Very Trying Person, just ask my wife.      
      
   If I can't get dd to do the Dirty Work, I WILL send both drives down South   
   to You to let You play with them on a very low priority basic, of course.

   I have to, I'm going to see Jesus.  see John 5:24   
      
   Thanks for the two messages.
