Problem has been avoided, more or less. I switched back to the 2 gig drive that came with the 3400c and still had 9.1 on it. The 5 gig went to my Toshiba temporarily, as the drive just snaps in and out of it without a huge overhaul, and I loaded Mandrake 9.x on it. I wanted to get linux on the 3400c but that didn't seem to be working out. Now I'm on linux in gmail on a darkside (more or less) laptop replying to a powerbook problem which isn't really a problem any longer. Still don't know what was wrong with the 5 gig under 8.5 but the 2 gig runs fine now. Thanks for the help, crew. (Is a pc still on the darkside if it runs Linux??)

I have a friend who has run Linux for a decade along with other OSes. And I get the message there are always problems with it. I don't blame the hardware as being on the darkside as several fine OSes can un on it. Only the soul less Macroscoff products qualify in my book yet I must use them sometimes too.
And Office for Mac works pretty well.Gotta admit. IE I hate on Macs though never worked for me.
