mr mark, I rebooted again. I observed the on-screen text and saw it checked the CD first for a boot record. Then it checked the A drive for a boot record [there was no disk inserted]. So on my PC the sequence is CD, A drive, C drive. This is the way it came from the factory. I know what happens when I have a non-boot floppy inserted at boot: I get an error message saying there is a non-system disk and am asked to remove it and hit ENTER. This boot sequence info shows up on the screen only. I did not see it in bootlog.txt, at least not so I could recognize it. This has been an enlightening investigation. Thank you! Gottfried

Mark--Update on GoBack. I finally got the trial version installed and seemingly compatible with Norton System Works. I was hoping for a 'freeze' so I could try it out. Finally, I got one of those error messages that allow you to click on 'details' or OK and sometime when you click on OK, it wont go away and one has to reboot. Well, I got one of the latter. I pulled up GoBack and worked around the error message(GoBack page was partially hidden behind it.) But I was able to set it back a couple of hours and did the required reboot. When it was finished rebooting, the GoBack message box came up and said I had suceeded in going back a couple of hours. All I had to do was to click on "OK" and I would be set. NO COULD DO!!!!! as the mouse was frozen stiff!!! I went through the proceedure twice with the same results. I am pretty fed up with GoBack right now and am thinking of SendBack<g> to the manufacturer. I did have a fleeting thought of UnInstalling Norton and GoBack and Installing GoBack first. But it seems chancy. Comments? Myron
