Probably better starting with a nuke and pave but thats up to you. good luck" Nothing. Ok, I'm doing backups and then I'll nuke the disk. Or, I can use a 1.2 Gb drive I've got somewhere... think it's faster than the IIci's 500 Mb Quantum... By the way, Jeff, I don't need to recover the data on those partitions, I only need to delete them... and preserving the non-password-protected ones (they have a whole bunch of software... I don't want to install it all again... Finalizing, I have a Asanté Ethernet card installed on the middle PDS slot... when I connect a cable to link it to my switch/router, the link led of the card lights up... but nothing happens on my switch. I've switched cables, ports, nothing! And I can't also access anything via network, and I've configured the TCP/IP parameters correctly! Is it possible the card is not working properly? What can I do about it? Thanks and Merry Christmas. Manuel Jorge M.
