I am almost ready to do that.. I have another puter setup on my network at home and I have already verified that there is no virus on that one.. (To Rule out a virus on the first..)

SO I can always just slave the drive and suck off all the good info, but that is a last ditch effort I feel..

Yeah, I would offer the same - boot up the hard drive in another PC as a slave and leech all the important info you need off it, then re-install. I've had to do it a couple of times, and it really hit me how useful two PC's can be! (Not both are mine, FYI. [img]tongue.gif[/img] ). Of course, checking for viruses before accessing the drive may be an idea...

Hope it helps!

I found that not having the financials to have two good computersa mobile rack does the trick, and it even makes for a very good portable storage device.

I still have the familys old C64 (I had so much fun with it at the time) though I doubt that it would work with that one.
