Yeah... At this point, I think it fine, but if I have some spare time, maybe I'll try it and see what happens. I am pretty interested in the software...

The funny thing about "Making a PC" for others is that while it is a gift and can be fun ... one does not know they have been sentenced to "repair tech for life."

So at the drop of a hat ... just one malware away is that phone call and ever so generous sharing of grief and stress with the new best friend "tech for life."

I give a lot of computers away ... now I tell the people it is from an anonymous benefactor. Please don't call me ... I dono nuthin.'

Don't get me wrong ... there are a couple people I help. Those that learn and try as they might to solve their own problem before calling me.

Placed in order of reasons by importance and likeliness
1) user error
2) Vista (nuff said)
3) hd is still bad
4) hd cable/ribbon
