Then once you are sure you have everything, you can format the old drive and use it for backup, more storage, etc. Take Ownership of a File or Folder in Windows XP [Q308421] - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308421 How Do I Get the Security tab in Folder Properties? - http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_security_tab.htm Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"
