I'm getting some disturbing messages on a clone machine. The machine boots properly but if it sits idle for a while, I will get the dreaded "unable to access ... Abort, Retry, Ignore" messages. The other day, I got a "Unable to access FAT1 ... Unable to access FAT2" type message. Rebooting the machine made the problem disappear for a while. I would guess that the hard disc needs re-formatting, at the least. Does it need a low level reformat too? What else should be checked? Mike Karin HP Colorado Springs Division mikek@hp-col.col.hp.com
