One likely possibility that resembles what you describe is a failing hard drive. Old hard drives will fail over time, and the easiest 'fix' is to drop in a new 9.5mm 2.5" HD. If you have one as a spare, you can easily swap the hard drives and see if it'll boot correctly. Another way to see if it's the rest of the laptop or the HD is to boot from a floppy disk and see if the machine consistantly boots from the floppy disk. If it does, then it's most likely a hard drive problem. --- For the L110, it's either a Toshiba or IBM HD. Toshiba does not have any low-level diagnostic programs for download; ibm does at www.hgst.com. The latter, you can use to diagnose and check the HD to see if it's failing. d =) adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
