It's a second-hand PC, so I better test the drive a bit more. I've got a spare 
40Gig in shrink wrap for an earlier project that I didn't do yet - so may 
swap it out. The earlier project was to try imaging drives and try to recover 
deleted files - but I might leave that to the experts. If I can pick up a USB 
enclosure for disk drives cheap, I could combine a couple projects.
