Did you hibernate it before changing disks, or did you just change the disks while "not doing anything"? Either is guaranteed to cause severe damage to a file system If you change system disks, you [i]must[/b] REBOOT from the different disk . Many of the directories, and other essential system data are kept in memory . If the disk they refer to isn't there, the rep[lacement will get zapped .	Graham L (2)
