those are great points, thanks! This is a digital port so i don't think i can monitor it with a buttset.

The vmail will go off hook and dial the correct string to light the lamps.

The old hdd works correctly and it is interesting to note that it takes about 2-3 seconds for the port to light the lamp.

The new drive goes off hook and dials the string very quickly (1 second). So I've even changed the timers in the switch setup form to slow that down and put a , in the string but it doesn't help

if I do a disk copy, say of only the VMAIL directory, is that drive letter going to permanently change once I take out the old drive or would it go back to E once I'm done?

I don't have an identical drive. I have a 3.2 Gb maxtor as my new drive (brand new) and the old one was 2.1 Gb Quantum. Will this matter if I do the xcopy32 of everything?
