Don't you just love days like that..... almost like root canal at a malicious dentist's office. Glad things came out ok, though.
  BTW.... if you're using XP, I'd recommend using recovery points. The downsides of that are that you lose everything between the recovery point, and when you tell it to recover, and each recovery point takes a certain amount of HDD space. I set a point each day... after a week, if everything seems ok, I delete all but the most recent.... it has saved my fundament more than once. Lou.
