[DuoList] Update on my PB2400c CompactFlash bootdriveadventure(was Hard drive spin-up problem)

[Brandy]

The point being the cards wear out! And it's always a good Idea to have a 
backup. Write / Read life goes fast when you running and OS as well as VM on 
the card.  It's hardware and not matter how new they do fail at some point.
