So I started to try to remove the I know that this is *not* your main concern but I think it worth noting that the size of your 250G harddisk was correctly reported as being 232.88G. The reason being that harddisk vendors use 1G = 1000^3 while computer science defines 1G = 1024^3. (Note: I think there are some standard definition by the IEEE(?) but I don't have a URL for that.) So 250*1000^3 = 250.000.000.000 ~ 232.8*1024^3 Wish you all the luck for the problems remaining! Kind regards Martin Eisenhardt -- Dipl.Wirtsch.Inf.(Univ.)
