check your fr mail.

No fair ... not on this thread. Folks will really hate you if they think you have "secret" Microsoft knowledge you can't share with the masses who are saddled with this secondrate also-ran OS.

I am not sure about the advice I fr mailed, it was not an MS fix, just what I would try if it were me. AAABEST said the first thing, as well, except I said format /mbr. Then write zeroes, and need a win98 diskette (no dos in win2k) Thats about it. Plus a said some mean things about you :) (just kidding)
