Thanks to all who replied: Took me a while as I waited for a new drive for backup. I did all the battery out overnight, hit cuda several times, zapped pram a bunch. Seems the old scsi drive was bad. After replacing it restart works fine. Thanks again, Dale __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
