The good thing about having the extra machine, is that if/when Hoster does lockup, I can still play music while waiting for the computer to "reboot".

I haven't tried using my Ext.Plextor since I got my new laptop with 2Gigs of RAM. However, that still means carrying an extra machine. I just hated to spend more money for an "internal" drive when I already spent the money on an "external" drive - guess it's time to think about it........
Can you plug your new external drive into your old laptop? Wait, I reread your post and see you tried this. Or did you?
