It all came out in the wash but I wrongly assumed (there's that word again)
that 'clone' would move everything to the other disk. Well it does. It
also removes every thing that is on the target disk, I found.
Luckily I had the files, some movies, still on this computer and using
ethernet I replaced them on the target disk.
BTW I did load Linux. Things went swimmingly. I believe it partitioned it
several times but don't know. Any favorite place to get the codes to see
the disk, like 'dir' in dos?
I had a choice of desktops and I took the first one. I assume there is a
place to learn of those things too?
On boot, which works fine by the way, is about 5 options and I need only two
so I'll have to try them to see what they do.
My arm isn't long enough to move the mouse from one side to the other.
There has to be a speed and travel adjustment somewhere.
Thanks guys, Glenn
