And in reference to upgrading from F16 to F17....I'm not realy going to do
THAT until I know they've worked out all the kinks, I always kind of
"trail" the releases so that I'm never so far ahead that I can't go "back".
I only recently moved up from F15 when it's Support Life Cycle ended....I;l
be moving from F16 to F17 when F16's EOL has arrived as well.....but I'm
going to definitely try out thi command line when I get out of the office
today...thanks you again for the advice! Also, just as a "side-quest" if
you will......

So I have a 320GB HD that has corporate data on it, and I need to acess
that data. It's a Western Digital SATA drive, with that "WDVault" software
on it that's suposed to keep the data secure, well it works, because when I
plug it into my PC i can see the WDVault partiton wvhich isn't that big,
but when I look for the info it tels me that I don't have permission to
access it!!?? Is threre anyway for me to get to this info?.....lok forward
to reading your responses!!

Cheers!
