what type of HD is it?
I would run the MFG diag tools and make sure HD is okay since you have done a fresh install. I would clear the cmos too just to make sure. Zaney123 |

Hi Julian,
Two quick things to try...replace the IDE cable with another. Replace your RAM with another stick. You might also want to do a virus scan and make sure the boot sector of the hard drive is clean.  Cricket
