Doubt it. The answer will come from randomly trying anything you can think of that might help (and some things that might not) to fix the problem.

If windows is SO EASY, why have I succesfully migrated a linux system that filled an 80 GB and a 40GB drive to a fresh 160GB drive, including manually resetting all the system stuff to point to the new drive, and not to mentioned getting inside the machine to install the new drive then remove one of the old ones.....in less time than it has taken a seemingly intelligent human beaing to install a device that is supposedly plug and pray, I mean play?

Backups are your friend, tho I'd consider something like Norton Ghost or Acronis trueimage, rather than putting me faith ins system restore....in the past when push came to shove and the machine was in tatters it really let me down.

15 Apr 2006, 14:28

I forgot about System Restore. I don't use it so much though. Glad you have your printer fixed, Johnny .
