[DM-MUG] 'old' Firelite FW HD -- what to do with it?

[Victoria L. Herring]

Great ideas...I like the Sledgehammer idea esp.  Looks tho like it 
would be good to (1) try DW to see if it'll see it [my recall is that 
I did that unsuccessfully but maybe i'm wrong] and then (2) take out 
the HD and sledge it and put in a new one [which might be a fun test 
of my capabilities!  Thanks!@
