Surprisingly, it worked (between a 4 gig and 8 gig drive). The only problem was that since it was a block copy while the computer was running off of that drive, it didn't get synched at shutdown... Oh well. Thanks for the help! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Douglas E.
