Now is as good as time as any... I will probably NOT make it tonight. Dead hard drive in the office, scrambling to re-backup everything. (It was the office backup drive that died). TirgerDirect = 500g SATA-300 drive and SATA-150 controller for $112 shipped. Computer too old to use the mini pci-express cards for SATA-300.

I tested it this morning at home. The mobo battery is bad and won't keep the system date in BIOS. Therefore, the kernel forces a file system check every boot. In addition, the mouse doesn't work. I am going to drop off the problem box and pull one of the systems your crew prepped and tested for the Saturday class. I'll bring the borrowed system back tonight.
