Guess what I got to do when I got home -

[jebbypal]

Reformat Vera. *growls* Went to turn it on and it stayed at the windows xp screen for over 10 minutes without proceedng or giving me an error. Then i tried to start in last working configuration -- same response. Then i tried to start in safe mode -- got a screen full of file names before it hung again without proceeding.

*hangs head*

guess it's time to start scoping out new hard drive/motherboards or something.

Off to download all the fun security patches.

toodles.
