Hi linney
Thank you for your prompt reply
I did find some of those links whilst searching the site
But it was your suggestion to try turning the Virus software that bore most fruit !
It does look like the "Panda Titanium AV 2004" seems to be at the root of the problem, will suggest a change...
Hi all
A M8 has an Acer Aspire 1355LC laptop running WinXP Home SP2
When he boots up and try's to open a folder or open a Word file, initially it takes ages (up to 30 sec's)
But after this they open very quickly !
This is a Athlon XP-M 2600+ with 256MB of DDR SDRAM so surely it should fly...

Hi all
Well none of the above has made difference !
I still can not made an image that will reinstall to a different drive if their main drive dies.
I have tried all types of combinations with out any luck
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Hag
WOW now that was FAST !!!
Yep I think the drives were "CS" will the HP systems be happy if I just change the cables for "Standard" ATA 133 cables?

I can quite happily make an image in the main drives 20 then...
