Ran Powermax.from their boot disk and on the full scan test it locks up.Any opinions? I think it must be the drive.Thanks Barry barrystv@xxxxxxx Barrys TV 613 224 3406 Ottawa.Canada. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
