well actually the hard drive will probably be read in the usb case, that was one of my options, but I didn't want to spend money on that where my client already has an external drive and wouldn't find it justafiable to buy another one. I can't use that one because it is a retail one by maxtor with the hard drive already in it and I don't want to touch that. I am going to see if I procure trials to those two programs. I'll report back to what worked. Thank you guys for your help
