Thus the FATs would go in less than a second and data would be wipe out until you rebooted the machine. So, just go ahead and backup your data to be safe. . Next, could someone out there put me on the distribution list for Z-Mag ST. Thanks. . . . Scott P. Leslie (UNCSPL@UNC) Jax . NEWD SOFTWARE : Nothing Else Will Do!
