Hi Jaco,
I did wipe the hard drive after it didn't work the first time. I even used Debug to clear the master boot record. Delpart on the partitions and fdisk to set an active partition formatting in basic FAT. Still the same thing. I even ran Spinrite 6.0 on the hard disk and it passed every test.
Does anyone know ehere I can download the HP Desktop PC System Tattoo/DMI Utility ????
