Okay, I'll try to do some testing to find out which is better.

Can To-M or anyone else give me a simpler explanation of the difference between Block and File I/O and what circumstances might call for the use of either of them?

I have used Block I/O for everything so far and did not even know that File I/O existed until reading the various posts here regarding VMWare.

So if someone could enlighten me a little that would be awesome.

Thanks!
