It is the only way to be sure you got rid of it. If there is stuff you need, I would suggest installing another disk and install to it. Then you could install the old drive and mount the partitions with your data on it and retreive it. You can also do some inspection to try to figure out what happened. Just be careful not to run anything from the old drive or you might be in trouble again. If what I just suggested makes no sense to you, you might be better off just reinstalling and move on with life. The problem is you will never know what you did wrong and you WILL lose everything on the old installation. If you decide to reinstall just be sure to format the partitions. Again keep im mind you will lose EVERYTHING!! HTH, Tom Diehl tdiehl@xxxxxxxxxxxx Spamtrap address mtd123@xxxxxxxxxxxx
