Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: old server

Andrew,
From your description, if E: is the CD drive, do you have 2 other
hard drives (C & D), or is it one drive with 2 partitions? Is there a
possibility of adding an additional small hard drive? They're pretty cheap
these days. I've seen 40 Gb drives for about $50, or maybe someone in the
group would have an older small hard drive they'd be willing to donate.
I think we're going to have to quit this thread, as it's getting
a little OT.
