thanks, chris
followed your advice with no problems. However there is a glitch somewhere when I boot up from either my SD clone and Sandbox, having to do with VmWare. On the reboot, everything is fine onthe imac. However when I click on the VmWare fusion launcher for Widows XP I get a notification from VmWare re. a "kernal" problems and then Win XP comes up frozen in a small box. Can not make mouse move in Windoz - first time this has ever happened.
I don't know if the problem is in the SD bootup or in VmWare. Hard to figure out where and who is the culprit. Am going to try some more and see if I can figure it out.
many thx,
