Post #11,907 by bconnors 10/5/01 10:19:10 AM Reply	Doesn't work It forces me into Scandisk early in the boot process; once there, trying to hit the "Exit" or "X" key is irrelevant because it ignores keyboard input. And if I boot to a system floppy, the hard drive doesn't exist as a valid drive letter. Believe me, I've tried every letter from B to Z without success. I keep hoping that it will accept previously marked bad clusters, pass beyond them, and someday let me have access to the hard drive for just an hour or so. BConnors "Prepare for metamorphosis.
