   Thanks, Malcolm.  I took some time to read about GUID partitions, but was   
   not sure, since the Drive Info only spoke of Win & Mac.  It also said it   
   would not work with Win version prior to Vista or Win 7.  There was no   
   mention of Linux.  The file system on it is NTFS which I know TW can read.   
   My plan is for a backup drive for TW via Clonezilla or something like it.   
      
   Thanks,   
     Paul
