Right, the story is not quite like mine. I'm thinking my problem may be because the hard drive I am currently using was imaged from an image of my old drive. That image, in turn, was created from a hard drive that I had used Partitition Magic a couple of times to resize my Windows XP partition. Perhaps these two factors have created an odd issue. Of course the combination presents a slew of possibilities of what may be causing the problem. I've accepted that, but what can I do to start investigating?? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
