Hi, everyone, I did get the a810n system loaded and apparently working, just an occasional hang, and others are seeing that, so we will probably get that sorted. My next problem is that HP put something in the windows XP stuff that keeps wanting to "restore" the system, which in turn clobbers grub. My best guess is that it wants XP to be the primary hard drive (HDO). But I wanted it to be secondary, and I don't want grub clobbered. A web search has not given me any useful information. The HP website indicated something about removing the restore partition, but without removing the offending bit that clobbers the boot, how would removing a restore partition fix the problem without clobbering the windows reboot? Anyway, the suggestion to remove the partition seemed oriented toward reclaiming the diskspace, which is not my issue. So, has anyone run into this, and what was the solution? Regards, Les H
