Have you checked your BIOS to see which drive/partition you're booting from? I've discovered that after making changes to my system, like adding a new hdd, the BIOS will make a different drive my boot drive. Bill Anderson |

Bill Anderson I ran Maxtor's PowerMax to check for errors and found some errors on it. More than likely i am looking at clean install!!!!!!!!! Thanks NBK |

I checked a few drives with it for warrantee. One it fixed. Everything was wiped from before, but it rewrote the partition table so that basically wipes out the partitions anyhow. If it's really important, try norton or something - otherwise, start again sir. |
