Thanks so much for your response - as well as everyone else! However my hard drive was failing. Had to send it to clean room after I interrupted a copy process w/Media Tools. So I've since installed a new hard drive, installed XP pro & purchased a brand new unit to use as the host. All is well.

Thanks again for your consideration!

Sorry to hear that, but great that your pc is working again now, and thanks for posting back with that info.
