Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Windows OS .... troubles and can't access my cad files - BACKUP yours.

Thanks to ALL of you, those that had to put up w/ my
posts and Especially to those who responded!!! We
have a Best Buy here along w/ some others. I think I
found one on ebay worst case scenario after a little
searching. NOW I know you guys are the best! IDE to
USB adapter.
I'll update ya all after I get this stuff!

I'll have to take lessons on partitions later.. have
to get my rear-end to bed.

Once again fellas.... don't do what I did... back up
your files you don't want lost!
