Well, thanks for the suggestion, and I am doing just that. I have managed to use ghost to copy the contents of my empeg A disk to an image file, so here is hoping that I dont loose anything!

I will keep you posted on the IBM tools recommendations.

One question though, for situations like this is it best to rma the drive directly with IBM, or go through Empeg Support?

Thanks
