Thanks George. From what I studied on the KB, this confirmes what I
suspected. I'll get onto them probably in the morning now. I presume in the
meantime though no real damage is being done?

Hi Mark,
It sounds like the repair shop may have re-set the BIOS. Unfortunately this

I suggest you contact them and ask if they would be kind

do so from Windows.
George.
