From: Joe McGuire on 27 May 2010 00:11 Thanks! I found the event viewer but nothing looks like the sort of report generated by CHKDSK. I'll try again.

From: Joe McGuire on 27 May 2010 02:29 Ah, now I understand. I was looking in the wrong stuff (in System instead of Applications). I see the results of CHKDSK. It shows 0 KB in bad sectors. Is this consistent with a bad hard drive? "Johnw" <johnmattmel(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:htkt6h$1r01$1(a)adenine.netfront.net... > After serious thinking Joe McGuire wrote : >> Thanks!
