I store things in the trash all the time -- it's the biggest cupboard in ma house. It don't brother me none -- now, where in the hell did that go??? A second chance? Never heard of such a thing, or least I never saw one. It must of been on that hill that everyone keeps saying I went over -- but, I never saw no damn hill. >My whine came from the need to empty the trash in a non-bootable USB >drive, and has also come up with my little 128 MB USB FLASH >pseudo-drive.

If you'in worried about them there contents then just take them dad-burn contents and move them to another drive, then erase and replace -- simple as that. Whatever was in the trash won't be there no more -- you betcha. Unless, were you trying to save the trash -- were ya? Well... ya gota believe there ain't no trash on a non-bootable drive 'cause they ain't got their own desktop to hold 'em. Don't ya figure? Sometimes, ya got to think like a redneck to understand this stuff. tedd -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://sperling.com/
