Took my mobo out too. Fried, along with 120g of hard drives. My Win2K was stolen and it was replaced with NT + a beta version of a Win2K migraterupgrader version. NT would be responsible for setting up that hidden partition...I think. Oh well! on to XP. Closing my eyes and crossing fingers... Thanks Emily. Q
