Glad you're back into the Hoster world.

I had SATA failure on the motherboard itself. They originally thought it was the hard drives, so bought new ones, same issue. They swapped out the processor, & then discovered it was the motherboards SATA interface itself that was dying. The motherboard was still under warranty which was the biggest delay, the company never did send it back, I said screw it I need it back & we bought another board. But then they loaded it with an unauthorized copy of XP Pro (had 2000 Pro) & when I got it back it kept wanting the activation key which I didn't get. So then I had to find a place that actually still sold XP & reload the entire system myself. What an ordeal.
But I would go back to discs if need be as I did, the show must go on & that's just what it did. But I am very happy to have my computer back in operation!
