I have two Conner 4G disks in the machine (identical other than the fact one is narrow and one is wide.) When I wish to update the OS I simply move the jumper from one drive to the other swapping SCSI ID0 and 1 and then do an install onto the other disk. Thus I still have 2.1.5R on the other disk and can easily flip back to it if I require. 2.1.5R had none of the problems that this 2.2 SNAP is producing. > > Mark Powell - Senior Network Technician - Room: C806 Mark Powell - Senior Network Technician - Room: C806 Computer Services Unit, University College Salford, Salford, Manchester, UK.
