The short answer is probably no. If you are referring to "ready boost" the idea was to use something like a thumb (jump, flash) drive to act as system cache because those drives are typically much faster a traditional hard drive. So using a hard drive wouldn't accomplish anything. I'd suggest using either a thumb drive or adding system memory.

On your computer...... Start button > Run > type in the word explorer What opens is your tree. Look or Scroll down to My Computer and click on that. Now you will see your drive letters..... A (your floppy if you have one) C (your hard drive) D (your CD or DVD drive) You probably see a bunch of other stuff, but don't worry about those. Click on C and it will open to everything on your hard drive in a-b-c order. Click on Documents and Settings. Click on your name. Click on Favorites. You are now in your Favorites folder. But initially, I wrote for Susan, who is backing up her Favorites to disk. She will not need to go to the Start button because she has to access the Favorites folder from her CD/DVD burner program. If you are backing up also, you will access by the same steps - that is without going through the Start button, without going through Accessories, and without going through Explorer. I need to know what the rest of you are trying to do in order to direct you. Also, the instructions are written for WindowsXP. If you are running Windows98 or other operating system, please inform. The directions will be different. Woodswell, I'm not offering screenshots because I have 3 hard drives. It will only cause confusion to show or talk about what they don't have and what doesn't exist.

"No one has EVER asked me for it...and we got a couple of re-fi's and home equity loans on the house over the years." As long as it was recorded at the courthouse they have no interest in seeing the original. If a chain of title issue showed up, a title insurance company might be interested. In a :"trust Deed' state, you recive title at settlement when you purchase, and then immediately execute a Trust ded conveying the proprty to a trustee named by the note holder. When the note is paid off, the trustee issues a 'deed of re-conveyance' back to you (and it better get recorded) showing you are once again the sole owner of an encumbered property. Mort-age lenders record a certificate of satisfaction to remove their encumbrance on the title. Unless there is a default (foreclosure) the process looks about the same, just slight.y different documents being recorded (especially at satisfaction of the note). I have had second notes recorded as mortgage notes in deed of trust states (out of state lender). It irritated my attorney who had to look up how to release a mortgage (write the certificate of satisfaction) since it was not a standard thing in the area.

Follow-up: The MTD is starting 1st pull with the Recoil and pulling from the Motor’s level with my leg’s push off help. “The Old School Position”! I’ll plan to use it in a rotation vs letting it sit a year. It’s the better mower vs my 6.5 HP Murray with the large rear wheel. The real issue is all the reversing in our small 30 minute cut with the heavier MTD. When I started in Industrial Ed in 1964 we had some machines running from leather belts and motors sitting a ways behind the machines. I wanted a 9” South Bend Lathe at home but could not give up the space (in our 2 car garage) the leather's rear motor and belt used. I mounted a motor and short serpentine drive belt to the front and semi overhead (saved a foot or more space). The newer 9” had drive belts below in cabinets. This has been a fun adventure and stressful at times due to the changes in Industrial Education’s Technology. I spent the 60’s -90 with Traditional Woodworking, Metalworking, Plastics, Small Engines and Mechanical Drafting. 1990-2003 I was involved with Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) and Computer Applications. My initial Woodworking, Metalworking, Plastics, Small Engines and Auto Mechanics have remained as my hobbies.
