VCP will do the trick for you, but for that you need the latest version of RSX. If you have that, the command is just VCP COPY Finally luck is on my side - I have VCP. Never used it before, but after perusing the help it looks like I need to do something like VCP CONNECT xyx/CR:RL02 VCP COPY/DEVICE DL0: VF0: <swap packs now> VCP COPY/DEVICE VF0: DL0: VCP DISCONNECT VF0 My fingers crossed..... I think I'll go crank up the 730 to copy the RL02... :-) Sadly the 730 doesn't boot. I was afraid it wouldn't - the RA81 is being cranky. "Servo fine positioning error" (which probably means "the HDA is trash"!) Those things are not particularly reliable, but there aren't many alternatives for disk drives. Bob
