Where is the event log? I get about 5 minuts between shutdowns.

I'm using old drive too.

Yeah, thats what I meant to say last time and managed to forget,
that its unlikely to be anything to do with the drive copying. Its
likely the system has become very unstable for other reasons.

Try memtest86 on it to check for memory errors.

I found event viewer by looking at Help. I didn't see anything that
looked like a problem, but I don't know what to look for.

I called a friend of mine, Bret, who used to work at Cisco (and now is
trying to run a FIGHT studio. He had his first two customers yesterday.)
.. When I explained, Bret said, "I'm 99% sure, and I don't usually say
that, that it has something to do with the power settings." On his
direction, I went into Windows setup (or I think BIOS means the same
thing) Power Menu ACPI and although it was Yes, I changed it to No
restarted went back into BIOS and changed it back to Yes. I think
things are working now. It hasn't shut down again yet.

Now I have to get back to the drive problem.

I've unplugged and replugged the ATA ribbon so many times (I used long
nose pliers) that the pieces of plastic _over_ the end connectors have
come off. I think the cable is still electrically okay though.

Bret said I should just use Ghost. He wasn't familiar with XXCLONE.
