I thought I had read all the rules when I started with XP but apparently not! The guru tested the unit for me and found it to be working fine. However, when, in answer to his question, I told him that I had switched the HDD on and then hot-plugged it into the USB, he suggested that I reverse those two operations. Lo and behold, it worked. He says on some installations it doesn't matter but sometimes it does.	wjohn (2330)
