What do you mean by that? You can make a fresh installation onto the new disk and then copy off the old one whatever you need. Basically, if you do a fresh install of the same version you already have on the old disk you can pretty much just copy everything over (because if you'll overwrite something, it will be with an exact copy of it). > Wilton Hughes 520-776-8272 > 3682 Estate Drive > Prescott, Arizona 86303-7523 > unixsa@northlink.com > Nadav
