I would just cut & paste the files from one (internal) hd to the other (internal) other. Here's where I am getting paranoid. Can the cut & paste do any harm to the files or alter them in any possible way? I don't think so, because after all - it is just digital bytes copied from one hd to the other. Someone pls. confirm this, so I can overcome my paranoia. Thank you, Tom. -------------------- Back off haters - strictly love we deal with.

Why use foobar then re-rip, when you can just use an MD5 hash and re-copy? The second option is a lot easier in my opinion. -------------------- I'm on a horse.
