Whether it be ME or XP, we are talking about moving data
bits. I realize PM6.0 was written to run under a dos based
o/s, but it should be able to move any kind of data.I can
still access D: from C:, so may just bkup any files or
info I want to keep, then try running defrag from C: and
see what happens. Worst case would mean wiping the
partition and reloading XP. Thanks for the input guys. John
