David, Yes, it does. syncs the disks too. So I don't think that that is the problem. Generrally when the disks sync it gives a message such as syncing disks . . . 5 5 1 done. That is the usual message? pardon the neophyte here but does this message offer me any diagnostics on the syncing process? Thanx for yout help! - Timothy
