Thanks Dale,
I have the old ribon cables so my show machine does not have raid capabilities.
Beavis,
I will clone my hard drive with Ghost and keep it in the computer, unplugged. I see no use in powering up the copy of the drive if it can't be used in conjunction with my C:\ drive.
Raid sounds like the way to go to me. Since nobody has had a bad experience using it in their show machines, it seems to be the most seamless way to keep an active backup in a computer. I'll PM you.
Thanks everybody for your help in this matter. It was dissapointing to find out that I have been running my shows for over four years with a false sense of security but proves again that GOD takes good care of us.
Jim
