That was it. It's a pavilion that came with a 40G Western Digital that I then put a 250G Maxtor in. The update (booted as XP) decided to put the WD drive before the Maxtor in the boot order and there's nothing on the WD drive (other than the XP Home I erased when I bought the thing about a year ago... it's a long story). joe ----- Original Message ----- From: FoulDragon@aol.com To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 8:19 PM Subject: Re: BIOS headache Is it possible your boot order got changed, and it's scanning an unbootable drive (floppy, CD, zip, for example) before getting to the hard disc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
