I wish it was that easy for me.

I found:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp
?locale=en_US&lang=English+%28US%29&pnameOID=12257&prodSeriesId=63896&pr

t+Windows+XP+Professional&tech=Diagnostic
I'll try it tonight.

Quantum's website has a diagnostic tool but you have to use an Adaptec
SCSI card, I've got an Advansys.  I'm going to pop by the office of my
second job, I got an Adaptec SCSI card off Dan Cherry and I'll test it
there.

Thanks again Bryan.
