AH! Thanks much! (If she hasn't already wiped and rebuilt the booger
by the time I get home [quite possible actually] ... I will suggest
giving that a try!)
>>If that didn't work, I'd just wipe it, repartition it, and reformat.
Check. Again, she may already have it rebuilt and be on her second glass
of wine before I get outta here.
>>I do have to tell you though that Millenium was the final straw in our

Heh! Roger-that.
Finally outta here ... have a swell week-end,
RonL.
(Don't tell anyone ... but if my 5 year old 'white box' died today ... I'd
have to say I'd be leaning towards replacing it with a brand name machine
running OSX.)
