796182 2009-07-29 10:36:00 yeah it was through windirstat that I found the folder. Would post the name of it here but the pc is downstairs turned off and I cant be bothered going down there for two reasons. 1.takes ages to start up, and 2. my room is nice and warm from my computers. nedkelly (9059)

796184 2009-07-29 10:41:00 ok will do tomorrow before I go to course. Just a HJT log? nedkelly (9059)
796185 2009-07-29 10:45:00 PIO mode. Device Manager/IDE ATA etc/primary controller. dbl click for properties/advanced settings and check it is running in DMA mode.

If it is in PIO mode, delete it and reboot to get XP to find it and reset it.

Don't listen to them - delete Nortons. You owe them!
