I have an older Gateway running win98 and wanted eventually to get a
usb drive to save files for a new computer. I have installed a 4 port

know BING, it is a utility that boots up with its own CD boot disk. This
is usually not a problem with my desktops, with plenty of drive bays and

I've got a network 3.5 TB Lacie HDD which, in addition to a 10/10/1000
LAN port, also has 3 eSATA and 1 USB 2.0 ports. I am wondering if,
instead of going through a LAN and a router, I can simultaneously
