Glad DW helped, but what you describe is not a KP. You were having startup issues because the boot disk directory was damaged. Directory repair is all that DW does, but as had been said many times before, it does it very well, MOST of the time. A KP, by my definition, is a transparent dark rectangle with white text in multiple languages telling you you are screwed <g>, and good luck figuring out why or how <g>. > > Regards, Wayne Clodfelter wayne at troutnc.com
