We have been posting replies, in your OTHER THREAD FOR THE EXACT SAME QUESTION. Don't double-post the same thing twice in different forums. And keep in mind we're all volunteers here...posting the original question at 1:55, then coming back asking for more answers at 2:21 is very rude.
The only difference between your two threads, is that you're not mentioning your dying hard drive in this one.
