Following helpful advice from folks here, particularly Russ, I have purchased a Icy Box cloning unit and a couple of 2 TB HDDs. I've cloned the HDDs from my MD600 and verified they are good by booting the MD600 with the cloned disks which gives extra peace of mind. Each clone took about 3 hours 20 minutes for 1960 albums / 766 GB.

When I take one of the cloned HDDs, put it in the Icy Box and connect it to my PC, I cannot get it to appear in Windows Explorer. I have also tried a 2.5 inch drive containing non-Sooloos music and other files. When I put this in the Icy Box it will appear as a drive in Windows Explorer. Any idea why this is? I would have thought that however the Sooloos system stores files in an HDD, it should still appear as a drive in Windows Explorer.

Also, I noted that the drive lights on the MD600 were flashing alternately for a long time after putting the original disks back in. I would expect this if a new drive was being built but I'm surprised it is happening after the drives were used to clone a new drive. Jeremy.
