Might be the HDD that is having problems... Try SpinRight form www.GRC.Com I have bought it and it DOES fix drives. It is a small APP that you create an ISO file that you burn to CD that you boot from. !!Please note this app is only for "normal" HDD and not for the new solid state flash drives!! _______________________________________ -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
