Hey I wanted to share this little gem with you. If you visit dialup people which hasn't updated their winodws install, you might wanna bring this with you. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en It's the novermber xp/2003 updates in serveral languages, covering KB923980 KB922760 KB920213 KB923789 KB924270 KB927977 and KB927978. Have fun, and I'm sure there will be a december one as well when we get to that point /ZoRo

what does Dban say? Or any of the other programs reccomended to me in my wite question? /ZoRo

Hello 3 tings: I have a light grey (almost white) room. I need colours. No, repainting is not an option. So, the solution is to get a painting. I already have a sunset collour-like painting (with a personal note from the artist). It's that "closeness" I look for: You (or someone you know) can paint. You paint collourful pictures. I pay you to paint me a picture. We are happy. Anyone? /ZoRo

Trubble is that I need the drive whole so I can get a replacement. 3 runs with zero's and read errors should make me safe Besides I only have gamesaves on the disk /ZoRo Edit: Typos are bad

bad idea. Always, always, go to the manifacturers internet page to download drivers. It will affect you. But not in a bad way (joke).

it completed without any problems. Thanks! /ZoRo

The killdisk seems to be working, we'll see in 7 hours time when it's done. Thanks so far /ZoRo

Hello I have a Western Digital SATA-150 200 Gig harddrive which has read errors. I would like to blank the drive before I send it to replacement, because I have some sensitive documents there. (bank records, adresses of important people to me and so on). However, I can't figure a way to get into the harddrive. Windows (XP) is refusing to run based on read errors at the loading files. The WD diagnostics tools refuse to run based on the S.M.A.R.T. readings (read error, replaceable sectors is above the limits). DBAN refuses to run because the S.M.A.R.T. says the drive's failing.
