Yea, I know not to have any power on when working on computers and you should have a ground wrist band on to. At least that's what we use to use back in 1999.

That's why my name is (Wastech) because I havn't kept up with the technology.

I also plugged my HD into my 2nd computer as slave just to see if I could access the files on it but it never read it. That worries me.

I use to do this with Win98 FAT systems. I'm hoping it didn't work because I have WinXP on that drive. I just don't know because I never tried it before with WinXP drive. I'm hoping it is because of NTFS. Could that be why?
