Still could be a bad sector in the main partition. I had that on a laptop once. Occasionally it would refuse to boot with horrible "unable-to-read-this-incredibly-vital-system-file-of-some-sort" errors. > One of the tools is a hard drive diagnostic. No errors >found. Don't trust the cheapie utilities that come with the computer. They couldn't find anything wrong with the laptop i just mentioned. When I repartitioned with Partition Commander and did a full surface scan the problem went away permanently (though I still back up by OS drive with Norton Ghost regularly). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
