But one thing I'm sure that it isn't because of boot sector virus. Also, the best approach in solving hardware problems is to localized the problem. Is it the harddisk? Mobo? Memory? The CD? Looks like you're having a hard time, Lanman. Try to take 5, drinking coffee, reading some jokes, sleep, etc. I have my share of burnout too, especially when it was 3am, the energy level was very low, thus I accidentally wiped out all my data in the ntfs partitions when setting up a dual boot (which I've done this many times before). Goodluck. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | http://linux2.arinet.org 20:24:36 up 47 min, Mandrakelinux release 10.1 (Official) for i586 public key: https://www.arinet.org/fajar-pub.key
