If you mean unplugging one drive and plugging in another, the only things to be concerned about are: 1) Don't do it hundreds of times. I don't know what the connector lifetime insertions rating is. 2) Make sure that you have a current BIOS installed, so the machine will recognize large drives. 3) Make sure that you have a bootable floppy with sufficient drivers to install an OS onto the new hard drive. If using a PCMCIA SCSI card to talk to a CD-ROM drive, that would be particularly important. Test the boot floppy by reading the CD-ROM before you do anything rash with the old hard drive. If you are talking about opening up the drive enclosure, removing the drive from the little plastic box, replacing it with another drive, and putting the little plastic box enclosure back together, someone else will need to guide you. I've managed to avoid that fun so far. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.5.3 Comment: My Keys: 0x571B55BD and 0x628ECED, available from keyservers iQEVAwUBNT4opOukCaFXG1W9AQEG8wf+Ps7pbzXtsefdk6iEoA/zUzhlfhfBJyZs sziHae7cEEaEb45z6mjXPQ5g5lYCBUut2mXusvTfulfEJEurIwAsBspGc7h5CdaU sl5RbsVNak74SbEB61EW4L8CddL9SNLG2GTVnr80u2A9BxWrOxsl8YmBgrD4t0E9 3fxFEQclL+/H1xf8LNdfxyTBmgh0IAgJfn7T2KsGeaYUm1uQkzO6pQbGlBSLDhja Q6eRyB6pCdrd0j7p0dc20JERfBGiCtflSJr9qnA1vU92qf/O5eLSy7qMIZgk0UiZ EB2HOqcFqAULXl6FP1YnC0FgfzSCpoYb5OgfQ6JsPtA62W5zXXZqUA== =AHb3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ron.
