Hi To all

I second to what Cissy said, you all have been a great help. We try to not ask for any help if possible. But there are just some times that things just don't go right, and rather then cause more problems, we go for help. We have learned so much from this site, and I promise you we will not forget it.

One question I still have is this, say I went and got a controller card, and attempted the same thing. Do you think it would have a better chance of going through correctly, even though the old drive had bad sectors, or do you think even that way would have given us problems?

The reason I am asking this is because if you think the controller card would have been the better way to go, then I am going to get one, because I am sure I am going to be doing this again.

And also if you run all the info off the old onto the new, does this mean the bad sectors goes along with it. This makes two HD's that I have now with bad sectors on them, both of them are small and old, so this was the reason I replaced them.

Take care.......Gunny.......
