Ramesh,
A very very big thank you to you for this help as I also had the same problem.
What people dont realise is that for every one who has this problem, many
people read the article and find the answer without giving you the
recognition you deserve.
I was pulling my hair out, however after following your instructions have
returned my system without having to reformat my hard drive.
Your help is invaluble and very much appreciated and I do hope you continue
knowing that somewhere, someone was helped by you.
Thank you and your team, a very happy user.
Dean williams.
