</I>It does seem a problem waiting to happen, and I know I'm not at my
brightest right now. I think a better solution would be to disconnect
the old drives and offer them up as external drives to get everything
copied over. I have to go out soon, but I'll think this over, and
hope to tackle it this evening.
Thanks for answering
