Thanks chaps will try that tomorrow.
The other prob I have this machine is used by the whole family ie three of them have separate logins desktops ect, in the "all user" folder on the old disk,(slave) they each have a folder,ie lets say called Tom Dick Harry,I had the idea of opening the "all user" folder" on the new disk and copying these individual folders from the old disk into the "all user" folder on the new one so copied the laddies (Tom) which has the most stuff in it,then the other two,when I log on using said Toms name bingo,his desktop appears with all his music icons and every thing appears to be working ok,not with the other two folders ( Dick or Harry)though,just a rather Basic desktop appears in both cases if I log on using either of the other two logins?any idea what I have done wrong?
Never had this kind of trouble before but this is the first time I have worked on a puter with multiple individual uses
