I tried the ME boot disk. I went to BIOS and selected "Auto" for primary disk drive
select. It sat forever. I changed the setting to "none" and it went through the
boot up all the way to A:. I typed in fdisk and it came back with ---- "no hard
disk present". As always thanks for you help thus far, Dex.
