I completely understand what you're trying to do, Cheryl... but all
this new hard drive, old computer stuff produces is a domino effect of
upgrades. I guess it's a hobby for computer tinkerers. I'd rather
use my computer than work on it.

Thank you. You know what was weird? Ok, computers often act weird. But
the reviewers all said you didn't have to worry about the jumper blocks
but after a few failed attempts to get my laptop to see the USB
connected drive, I finally decided to remove the jumper block that made
it a master, to no block to make it a slave, and my laptop immediately
found it. Huh.
It will serve another purpose. My mom's ancient slow e-machine needs to
be put to rest and she is afraid that my dad didn't back everything up.
I know he did, but just to put her mind at ease I will make her another
backup. My dad was very good about keeping everything saved to CDs,
especially all of their many trips they took. It would hurt my mom not
to have those photos to look at. I guess that's one good thing about
the past way of archiving photos. If you put them in an album you'd
only lose them if you had a fire or flood or something else that damaged
your home, and even if you lost the photos, you'd always have the
negatives. No one ever destroys negatives, right? We keep them even if
we don't know what to do with them. Now we have to make sure the media
they (digital photos) are saved on is reliable.

For general PC questions, I use this group.

Good luck and have fun.

That is refreshing, to see someone who knows the value of backups.
It is easy enough to do, the storage hardware/media is cheap, but
some people do not know better. And then their hard drive fails
and it's crying time. Like any other complex mechanical device,
the hard drive can fail at any time. And then recovering files
costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
