Thanks JOe, I just bought $50 new 1 TB , wd external for bootinng in to a laptop clone for in case the internal laptop HD fried.

Should I return it? Truthfully, I'd never have to boot into a backup latop HD ever, I don't do work on it, just email/ internet, just to replace, the apps etc desktop look, if internal HD fails, Do I even need bootable for that, did you understand that?

Thanks for link, not sure which I'll need. Sad they don't put CF card reader, I hardly photograph with SD, but I photograph all time with CF. Also, the VGA display issue not addressed on those Hubs, but at least start.
