Definitely not any of those. I booted from the CDROM and the same thing happened. On 5/8/2003 at 6:32 PM a whisper was heard, and the one known as Wyatt M. Portendt was rumoured to have uttered.... | Glad to know they are good with support. There | shouldn't be an antivirus | loaded because it does it before Windows is loaded and my | antivirus doesn't | load until the login screen. I'll disconnect the ethernet | cable and try it | disabled, though, just to be sure. There is no BIOS virus | checking and no | Go Back. Would XP's System Restore get in the way? Also, | could it be the | HP hidden partition with the restore on it be causing | problems?

The Drives had been | partitioned with | | Partition | | Magic and Go Back was installed. Then, I had to | reformat (I | | just did some | | partitions...like the C:) and then I could not re | allocate all | | the space... | | and I tried several things. | | | | I called Tech Support...and it did not take long | for them to | | figure out wha | | the problem was and told me how to fix it. | | | | I have called them quite a few times....4-6 times | over the | | years..and I | | have always gotten excellent support from them. | | | | I have been using both Western Digital Drives | (the 7200 - | | Since they were | | released) and have used Partition Magic 6, 7 & 8 | and have | | always resolved | | any issues I have had... with their help. | | | | The only other thing that comes to mind..is to be | sure you do | | not have | | Norton or other virus programs running. | | Rose | | Las Vegas | | ----- Original Message ----- | | From: "Wyatt M.
