This without needing to open Windows, or in my case the Mac Op Sys, to do its work. As Keith just said "Norton Utilities can do fantastic things. Always worth a try." And Brian, by all means get a separate back up that does not depend on your hard disc............I have a 100MB Zip Drive that I would not be without and there is a 100MB compatible 250MB version available now. There are numerous other separate backup systems available and I am sure that some are also excellent but the ZIP Drive does everything I want of it and I even run some programs off of it :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
