OK! Thanks Tony, as USUAL I should have looked through the FAQ more carefully... Its all covered. :-)

Process complete, Im now synching the empeg with jemplode. However the 'media check' is really taking FOREVER. Even longer than it did on the 2 30GB after a "failed" sync. I wonder if this drive has media issues....

I'm going to look back a few posts, I seem to recall someone with a "failing" drive with bad sectors, and a fix (to eliminate them) that someone suggested....

If I have to "do it over" now would be the time...
