Jaguar,

 Thanks for help but yes it just locks up the PC during boot. What I am
trying to do is save the patch to my bootdisk. I go to the Mandrake web site
and have found the patch but when I try to save it to my boot disk it states
that the disk is not formatted. Not sure is this is because I am using
windows or not but I need this fix.

Matt

Are you sure it has totaly stopped??? I know with mine on a fresh
install...it
gets to certain services (AMD, POSTFIX ( I think that one anyways) and sits
there...I guess it times out waiting for the services to start...sometimes
well over a minute.  To fix these sine I don't use them...when booted...I
disable those services.

try pressing crtl+alt+F12 this is the log screen (i believe)
you can press crtl+alt+F1 to bring you back to the main console screen.



AMD is an automount for network shares, sits about on my computer for ages
as well(probably because i only have the network half setup).
