Hi John,
thanks for the reply.
The disk is supposed to be almost new, it was fitted earlier this year
by someone else. I don't know the brand, I won't be able to check for
a little while, I'll let you know.
FWIW, the machine is a Compaq presario CDS 523 integrated base
unit/monitor. The daisk is much newer than the machine.
I ran Data Advisor from Ontrack on the disk, it includes a virus
checker made by VET, and was passed clean. Incidentally, data Advisor
failed to pass the quick test on the disk and choked, but it still
booted!!!
Paul
