Congratulations Jason. Maybe I should retry using the xxcopied primary
partition from my IBM laptop as the primary partition on my old (pentium 90)
PC clone desktop. No time just now, but I guess if your xxcopy transfer
worked okay then mine should work too after the plug and play does its thing
with the new hardware set.
