I think his point was that to get a 9.5mm hard drive you either need to loosen all the case screws or you need to split the case to get at those spacers to remove them. >>The disk access fault only seemed (past tense) to appear when doing a 'warm boot' >but has never appeared after a straight switch on or power cycle?< > >Okay... if the boot problem disappeared after re-installing the OS, the MB is >probably fine. Good. Probably a sticky somethingorother going on ... it actually happened to my desktop when I accidentally had a single slave on my RAID card with no master (boots up fine from cold but won't spin up from warm). *shrug* >>My bigger problem now is I can't run my Mapping prog Mapsource?

I'd consider running scandisk just to make sure the hard drive error hasn't put holes in anything. >>I'm in the process of sticking 98SE on the libby ..

If you have time, can you try NOT loading the 98 audio drivers immediately, play some sound and whilst its playing see if you get a mouse warp problem? (Of course, install the sound drivers afterwards). - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
