 JP> I am not even worrying about the Sig at this moment.

When you copy everything from the F:\ drive, to the the C:\ drive, 
remember to change all the drive letter references EVERYWHERE in 
BW and BWREPFIX, and anything else that is referenced by BW. 

Also, change the start-up and run folder/directory under XP Pro. 
It could still be looking for BW in the F:\BWAVE folder.
