I generally work from the opposite direction... disconnecting everything that can be disconnected. Sometimes I will pull all the RAM except for a single 'known good' stick, too, and just try booting into BIOS, rotating RAM sticks, to make sure I haven't got a crappy stick of RAM. I have seen OS installs fail like this, when there was a problem on a single stick, either reading or writing. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.
