When I get a moment later today I'll search around to see what others in this situations have done. If all else fails and I don't find anything or I just find the quick and dirty script fixes, then I will post a new thread looking for suggestions. I guess I could open up my hard drive enclosure too, but in doing so I'd be voiding the warranty I have left on it.
