Unless you give us some ****ing DETAILS we'll just watch and larf at you.

usual professional computer engineer attitude.....

Is this just a drag/drop copy? How much stuff are you copying? Are you
using a
backup program to do this? What sort of ports are the two drives
connected
to?

And so on.

who cares

You remind me of this geezer at CERN who used some software I wrote.
He'd put
his head round the door and say "It doesn't work". My reaction was to
adopt a
look of extreme concern and say "Oh DEAR! Your poor wife - have you
been to
the Doctor about it?"


good fun isn't it I used to do that when I worked in Building
control....great fun taking the **** out of lower non professional
mortals isn't it....so **** off...tee hee

you get a lot of that attitude in amateur radio as well....bunch of
professionals that like to lord it over the true hobbyist.....makes them
feel better ...
