Bill that looks wild, hopefully I will be operational by tomorrow evening so I can give it a try. I have an Elephant parked at my shinny new headquarters just waiting for something to do.
Things are progressing well with the comp, it turned out to be a bad HDD, the 1st error was in the boot sector which is why I could not repair it, I pulled the drive, used my Predictor and it said the thing was pretty sick, so I copied what I could (and wanted) from it and blew the thing away, then I repartitioned and formatted it and there were errors showing all over the place. Luckly it was under warranty and the shop where I bought it said not to bother sending it back to the Mfg (Seagate) they would be happy to swap it for me, excellent customer service if you ask me because it was almost 2 years ago that I bought it. I was fully expecting to have to wait a week or two for a vendor replacement but no problem, boys fixed me right up
I took the drive right in and figured it was only right to reward that excellent service so I asked if they would trade me up if I paid the difference, and for $40.00 I now have a nice shinny new 1 Tb primary drive, I also bit the bullet and picked up Windows 7 Pro 64 bit while I was at it. I am going to try a dual boot with Vista 32 bit (factory install from restore disk) and Win 7 as the secondary, I am not sure how it will work but I want to give it a try, I am kind of hoping I can run some things like FSX from both OS's I have it on a seperate drive so it might work???
I am just finishing the Win 7 partition now, and will start the install in a few, wish me luck.
