/Start Flame War There's your answer right there where you say you have a Presario! Its that proprietary BIOS HPaq uses! Sorry I missed that earlier otherwise I'd have nailed it right then. Yep, proprietary BIOS will get you every time... /End Flame War Just kidding. Honest! If it isn't an impending hard drive disaster then it may very well be a parted issue. My experience leads me to think its bad hardware waiting for the best time to crash just before that one major backup you have to do. I hope it is a strange issue/bug in parted with your hardware setup though. Stan
