My last two machines were HP Pavalians, and I used the system restore discs several times. I had results a bit better than Magik's, but it still hosed up a couple of times. When it did, I just formatted again and started over.

Do you have system restore discs? If so, use them to format, don't use the DOS command.
HP's are a whole different Animal from PB's [img]smile.gif[/img] Really...Packard Bell (no longer even exists) had truely nighmarish configurations. I like HP Enterprise class servers, but have never tried their home PC's (usually too expensive)
