I am now going to zero the 1TB drive and dd the 500GB drive to it. dd if=/dev/da1 of=/dev/ad6 bs=1m I will then try windows chkdsk on the 1TB drive. Thanks to everyone who has added input. If I can get this working I will summarize what it took to solve this puzzle. Henry wrote: And still the wife doesn't suspect? Of course she knows that the computer died and that I am in the process of recovering all of her data. I re-installed XP Pro on another computer and moved what data I did save onto it. She is happy that she can check email, balance her check book and play on Facebook. :-) We will be drinking wine tonight. To be continued. Robert
