Thanks a lot, Matt and David.
- Most of the startup apps were removed and I have now 83% of "system resources" (war around 50%). Great. The improvement is noticeable. - No virus nor hacks, I guess. AVG is always updated and Zone Alarm is active during internet connections. - How do I turn on the DMA mode for the new HD?
Press Window-Break to bring up system properties, go hardware>device manager>IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers>Primary IDE Channel>advanced settings, make sure both are on "DMA if available", reboot them make sure "Current transfer mode" is DMA. I think there are some rare circumstances where old settings stick here, I can't remember how to get around those, perhaps someone else might be able to shed some light?
- No idea if something was damaged when the HD was replaced. I believe it was not, since no big difference in the Lib behavior was noticed after the HD replacement (except the one in question). But ...... I have a problem when it is switched on docked (enhanced replicator). Sometimes a "KBC error" message is displaied right after the ON switch is pressed and it hangs. I have no idea what this error means. But if I switch off/on 2 or 3 times is starts fine. Or if I undock/dock 2 or 3 times. And it always starts fine when undocked. Can this be an indication that something was damaged? Or a bad contact between the Lib and the replicator?
I've had this sorta thing happen with a loose memory module, try flipping the keyboard up and reseating the memory expansion module (if you've got one installed) ... perhaps your module is loose and plugging into the EPR warps the motherboard just enough to cause it to sometimes lose contact? The alternative is your KBC is dying (I had a Tecra 500CDT with a similar problem), unfortunately I've not found a way to recover from that one ...
