First thing I'd like to ask you is if you're sure you want to put this all on a 4GB HDD? I installed Win98Se and Win2K on a 4.3GB along with some anti-virus software and that alone used about a third of my drive. I can't help you much with …

Sounds like you two need a UPS -- Uninterruptible Power Supply -- like a battery backup for you computer that also has a surge suppressor. IDE is your hard drive (don't ask me what it stands for, I don't remember!) It should be set for Auto Detect.

Is this a recent problem or has it been this way since you've had Norton Security?

There have been quite a few posts over the last several days regarding access to Hotmail, so I'm pretty sure it's 'their' problem and not much you can do about it but wait. I've heard they're planning some big upgrade this fall, so they're probably adding servers and stuff.

[QUOTE=beamuse] read the hard drive directly or exaclty how does one get data off a drive that is not working? [/QUOTE] I can't help much with your main question, but as for this part, assuming the drive is working and just won't boot, you could put it into a computer …
