Ok, I'm with ya - I just didn't make myself clear. When I stated "some vinum info is on the other drive" what I meant was the second drive's copy. Which if you have a copy on drive1 and a copy on drive 2, then drive 2's copy is some to me :) Sorry for that confusion - and thanks for clearing it all up for me! Even if I am still not making myself clear, I do believe I understand what you are saying.
