Hi all, After yesterdays fiasco trying to upgrade 5.5 to 6.2 - I just grabbed a = new drive and did a clean install of 6.2 Its working great, no errors I'm happy-=20 There are some files (basically some custom config and cf files) that I would like to copy from the 5.5 drive -=20 So I put it in an external enclosure and needless to say windows = wouldn't recognize it - and the MAC OSX though it sees it , it wont let me mount = it (despite the fact that I clicked mount drive )=20 2 questions; 1. Is there anything out there that would let me read a BSD drive from a windows or mac machine? 2. If I do just plug the drive into the BSD USB port will it cause any conflicts as there will be duplicates of the main slices /var /usr etc.. Or am I safe just plugging it in and mounting it? PS: Thanks to everyone for the feedback yesterday - I learned A LOT in = the last 24 hours=20 Jean-Paul=20
