Thanks for the reply. I don't think the click is coming from the hard drive, for there is no spinning noise and the screen does not lit up, just the green light turns on. There is no bootup noise, just a click, so I don't think I can boot off another disk. I think the problem has something to do with the power manager, but I don't know how to reset it internally. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
