In-Reply-To: message from resnik@grad1.cis.upenn.edu Have you tried checking your CMOS? This has happened to me on occassion when the CMOS was in correctly set or the battery was dead (which will default to standard CMOS, no drives installed) Most CMOS will hold memory info for up to 4 hours without a battery, but after that it reset to default. If your CMOS continually changes, then the battery is dead. Phoenix Systems Software P.O. Box 2525 West Lawn, PA 19609 represent their views.
