jon and all, Norton tip...And now for today's tip...

REPLACE SCANDISK WITH DISK DOCTOR

Although both originated with Symantec, Norton Disk Doctor is a more
powerful disk scanner than ScanDisk, which comes with Windows 9.x.
It's easy to switch to Disk Doctor.

Click the Options Button on the menu bar of the Norton SystemWorks
2000 Integrator and select Norton Utilities. On the General Settings
tab, check the box next to Replace ScanDisk With Norton Disk Doctor
and click the OK button.

A 32-bit application, unlike the 16-bit ScanDisk, Disk Doctor is
better at finding lost file clusters and can find more errors in
directory structures and long file names. It can fix more errant disk
problems, either automatically or under your direction, and you can
more easily configure it to perform just the operations you want.
Finally, after diagnosing and repairing a disk, Norton Disk Doctor
displays an easy-to-read report that lists the problems found, the
problems fixed, and the areas of the disk that checked out fine.

Jon and Gottfried.....I think I asked a question where the answer is going to be obvious?

I've had a couple of hard drive problems over the years and I seem to have bad luck with monitors but software is a never ending struggle.

PMS W....thanks for the tips. Mark must be so enthralled with his new Dell that he missed a golden opportunity to enter the post grubbers hall of fame?
