I wrote the other day I was reinstalling OS on my hard drive when my computer froze. the computer now starts up with the disk in and me holding down the c button and then with the extensions off. when it is on there is no sign of the hard drive and i have no destination disk to install the software. i have tried using the utilities on the disk to reformat and reinitialize the HD but the HD doesnt show up as an option. the only thing that appear is the CD i have in. any thoughts? _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
