thanks for bottom posting, but I'm having a hard time differentiating between your post and the one your responding to, because they're on the same level. I guess you're using Outlook because you can't boot properly? In Outlook you can tell it to prepend the standard "> " before the original message in the menu somewhere. So back to your problem - you can boot but just how far? Can you log into X? What were the updates you applied? (Please list them all). What boot messages do you see? How do you log in? Type `fdisk -l` and post the output. thanks, -- Iain Buchanan <iaindb at netspace dot net dot au> "Look, this is a man. He's got great numbers. He talks about numbers.
