Parted does things the safest way it can, and verifies things every step of the way, and I've even had it take several hours to transition a third or so as much data on an internal sata disk. Add in the limitations on speed of a USB bus and... well, 23hrs sounds about right to me... --=20 Poison [BLX] Joshua M. Murphy
