Dave,

Thank you for all your help

I will try and do what you suggest when i go home on my
machine

Do you mind if i email you if i run into problems?
you seem to know what your talking about.

Will this in anyway not make my system boot incortecly?
if i screw it up?
Will CHKDSK /F fix promblem on it own or do i have to do
something?

Please let me know
