P.J., Sorry to hear about your HDD problems.
If you clean your laptop in acetone, especially if you let it soak for some time in an acetone bath[*], that should take care of all the crud. It will also take care of the laptop and guarantee that _in the future_, you won't have any problems with that laptop (such as those that you are having with your desktop). [*] Heating it up to ~132 F will speed up the process. Note that using open flame for heating may help you (or whatever is left of you) making it to the regional or probably even national news. Be careful with a flaming reply to this message too! [BIG GRIN] Igor Disclaimer: Don't do that at home! ;-) On Sun, Sep 9, 2012 at 11:51 AM, P. J.
