    Explorer caused a page fault

    Thanks for your input Wolluf. Scandisk runs whenever this machine isnt shut down correctly. No faults lost chains etc. Scanreg / restore? Not sure will have to look into it tommorow. Probably will have to slave it, hadnt installed any new hardware or software so baffled at the moment. Thomas

    Wow! you are fast I wouldn't have had the old drive out that quick. If both PC's are running 98 you could probably install the old drive as master it will ask for a bunch of drivers probably Thomas

    Using Old Boot drive as external HD ??

    Although I think this is a little over my head how are the drives identified. If the new machine has a drive C what letter would be assigned to your old drive? Thomas

    How to write a DVD
