[QUOTE="Woody, post: 14028916"] Thanks for that John. The external HDD comes up with the same response on both of two laptops and my desktop all running XP SP2, hence why I fear it is a MBR problem (if a disc that does not have Windoze install per se even has one) or a corrupted directory. The drive has not been roughly handled so I doubt it is a mechanical issue. I have read that NTFS keeps a second copy of the MBR - does this apply to data-only discs? [/QUOTE]
