Great Robert,
I think a fresh install of Windows is in place soon.
I don=92t know if images can be attached in AE Mail list of screen = shots, but=20 I looked up what my current upgraded disk setup is (from disk management = tool):
Disk 0: 140 GB NTFS (G: )
Disk 1: 2 TB divided into two = partitions (E:=20 and F:=20


I=20 could re-install the SSD and get one more SSD for cache, but there are = no disk=20 connectors for any more HDDs so one of the other above would need to be = removed=20 ;-(

Then it=92s a question what generation of SSD to get, would a = 120 GB be=20 enough for cache or 240?
