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

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.

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?"


Wasn't Tim Berners-Lee was it ?.
