Good move. Last thing that comes to mind for me. Are you on your own hard drive in this system, or just a partition? Anyway, if this was a 4K sector hard drive, like the newer WD green drives, then partitions that aren't set up right can have long times where the system appears to freeze or simple command can fail due to time-outs. I saw 'freezes' of 10-15 minutes sometimes on the WD10EARS 1TB drives I bought until others helped me figure that one out. Good luck, Mark
