Sweet Hot Petunias Call Bear! That Worked! I have my drives back!
the "Automatic" 'Download Guide help" would not activate so I had to use
method Two to manually edit the register. On e does need to be carefull to
recall that there is a big difference between 'clicking' and 'expanding'
it wanted to first delete the 'UpperFilters' and then the 'Lowerfilters', I
only had the lower filters which had some 64 bit connection.
I did it and it 'Dood it' Thanks
