At the moment, when I want to boot, then I have to try to come into the BIOS-Setup, leave the setup, and then the PC continues to boot... Regards Oded --- Hi Oded! By the way, you don't speak German? ;-) (cause of your eMail-provider). Whatever. Yes, I sent the HDD directly to Seagate (precisely: a friend of mine did so:-). I got one back, but it got damaged during transport. So I once again went to my hardware vendor. He then gave me Samsung drive - now I didn't encounter any probs any more ;-). To answer your Question: Yes, I replaced the damaged one. That's no problem - I thought your one was very new, too? It should be within the guarantee period. That's why to save your files. You could also make a simple Ghost-Image so you can minimize your reinstalling efforts. sincerely yours Sebastian -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net ----- To unsubscribe, send a message to win2kforum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and put "unsubscribe" in the subject of the message.
