Yes, has worked fine for about 3-4 years. They have made no recent
changes. Thanks for all the time you are spending on my problem.

Helene,

half-pint knows next-to-nothing about PCs. He's just a lonely guy trying
to
get attention. I see he has insulted you further down the thread with very
little, if any provocation. Of course you are welcome back here anytime.


Not by me she isn't.
Since when did you have permission to speak for all the people in group?
Your presumption of grandeur is wrong as is the rest of the ******** you
talk.
The only thing you appear to have got correct is your moniker.


The thing about usenet is that you get idiots in groups. If you need
further
info anytime in the future I suggest you look at some previous posts and
see
who the *really* helpful, knowledgable people are. The Mad Hatter is
helpful, he's just a bit brash at times and can jump to conclusions, Kony
is
excellent, Cerridwen is usually good too. There are others (sorry if I
missed you guys, I was just going by who's posts are showing in my NG
client
at present).

Glad you fixed your friend's problem. You seem like a helpful person.

Well she certaintly won't be getting any advice from me, whether she values
it or
not. Her attitude to other people stinks and what stinks even more is that
she
doesn't even realise it, and thats not to mention her other problem(s).
I think she is pretty pathetic really.

Thank you for the nice words and great advice about usenet. I have used
newsgroups occasionally for different types of information and have always
found people to be helpful and very unselfish in the giving of their time
and expertise. The same holds true for most everyone in this group. I won't
let a couple of bad apples spoil the barrel.

You will only need one more if you are in it.

Mr. half_pint (gotta wonder why that nickname?), you are so rude.
Apparently women are not welcome here (or maybe it's just me)
without being insulted. If you had read more carefully, you would
have seen that I answered bearman immediately with what I had found
out and offered to post more information if anyone was interested.
NO ONE ASKED!!! Fortunately I have found most of the people who
answered me were kind and helpful. You apparently are the one with
the problem!!


Yes stupid ignorant ****ers like you, however it is easy enough for me
to get rid of my problem.

Yep, a shotgun in the mouth should do it.

Thanks Trent. I'm sorry you went to all this trouble to help me get my
friend out of her situation. As I posted below, we have pinpointed the
problem to a Gateway glitch with GoBack, the software that helps
repair/recover when things go wrong (ironic it seems to me). The solution is
to disable GoBack, which allows Windows to open. Then she can go to the
Gateway support site to download a patch. We haven't had a chance to try it
yet because she hasn't been available for a few days. As soon as she's free
we will give it a try.

I have gone into the bios and checked the settings. Everything looks ok

difference in the start up, though.

You changed WHAT settings to 'none'? ALL of them?

Set them all to 'automatic'.

Did you ever tell us what operating system they're running?

Get a Windows 98 rescue disk...boot into it. Then change over to the
C drive. If yer able to do that, then run that scandisk.

Make sure you set the tab of the floppy disk to 'read only' before you
use it.

You've got some process or application that's trying to find the
'slave drive'. It could easily be a trojan or virus.

Since you know how to install motherboards, you should know how to
install/work with hard drives.

So...

If you can see the C drive (per above), take that drive out of their
case and put in into your case as the master on the secondary
controller. Make sure you have the jumper set correctly.

Then run all your usual security checks on it from your
computer...your anti-virus program, Ad-Aware, CW Shredder, HiJack
This, etc.

Then put it back in their machine and let us know.

Good luck.


Have a nice week...

Trent

I would advise you to seek psychariatric help first.
