| 28613 | 2001-12-26 07:36:00 | Okay, I want to be able to copy a whole hard disk to another one, but it is having some 'issues'. Explorer stops when it hits trouble. I used to use a program called Fastlynx that had good options like 'copy only newer files' so you didn't have to start over when you hit a snag. I don't want to have to go through and figure which files need copying. Any ideas, my friends? robo |

| 28615 | 2001-12-26 08:39:00 | I have ghost, but want file by file, not whole disk image (remember the orginating disk is partially buggered). Want to keep all my mp3 files and digicam pics that I can. robo. |

| 28619 | 2001-12-27 01:28:00 | I saw this morning a 5.25' FastLynx distribution disk in one of my trays of disks. Might have to be trimmed with the scissors to fit in your 3.5' drive. |

| 28620 | 2001-12-27 19:51:00 | I have fastlynx 2, no worries there. I have used it in local mode numerous times. Problem is that it can't handle long file names. That other program didn't really work. Any other suggestions out there? robo |
