What I have done so far - is to take both the FireWire drives and add them in to my other computer with other FireWire drives - and everything is working fine on the second computer (also 10.3.5) - basically this proves that the hardware was working fine. - thank you John for the cool idea of creating a second admin user account - I will definitely try that... Q: so - is everybody happy with 10.3.7? - Is it safe to upgrade at this point? ( I was under the impression that there were certain problems especially related towards FireWire in 10.3.6 and also 10.3.7 - but maybe I was wrong...?) -- Thanks - RevDave CoolCat at hostalive.com [db-lists]
