Hi,

Looks like we have a winner here (at least as far as I have tested it)!!!!!

It loaded 54 GB of songs (3428 songs, 113 Albums, 283 Playlists) and worked correcly. Most of these are .wav the rest are .MP-3s.

Do I need to install the FIDS patch still or was that part of the drive build/player software load?

Throughout the next few days (maybe weeks), I will load it up, purchase another 250 GB drive, and load around 400 GB of my CD collection on it. Can the patch be installed at anytime in the process? I will probably erase what is loaded and start anew, so if I need to apply the patch before loading, it's no big deal.

I really need to get my Ethernet up before I load that much onto the drives. Just no time to work on it yet.

I'll let you know if I run into any snags along the way.

You did good Mark!!!

Thanks again,

Ross
