I was surprised to see that it came up without a hitch. I brought it up from my hard drive and from an Apple 3.5" and it came up fine. In fact, it didn't ask me for my "key disk" (when it was on the hard drive)!?! This is really interesting since it always has before! I don't know what's different or why it works for me, with 5.0, but one point may be that I installed 5.0 "clean" since I haven't had time to add any of my previous NDA's, Fonts, etc. so Garth's problems my be related to how his NDA's are kicking out before DD II comes up.... Just a thought.
