All your previous posts look fine. Notan

The problem is accessing the diagnostics partition from the F12 key. That requires some highly technical knowledge of programming, and is not guaranteed to work on every model of Dell computer. Ain't no easy way to do it. The easy way is to use Dell's diagnostic CD instead, which has all the same stuff you'll find in the diagnostic partition. > > > For Ted: > > Why do your postings always come through as one long line of text with > no word wrapping? I've asked Ted before; it has to do with him having Outlook Express set to use the Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable (so it is at least partially on his end).

I have the following entry in GRUB: title Dell Recover Utility rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Note that (hd0,0) is pointing to the first partition on the Primary Master HDD (in the case of my laptop the first partition on the only HDD). This differs from the drive naming scheme common to most file systems with /dev; the first partition is usally listed as hda1 (or sda1 for SCSI/SATA).

Doen't happen for me (using Mozilla 1.7.8). Have you checked your local settings? |
