in-house warranty so should be up and running in a week or two.
Meanwhile, at some point I will have a try with Ubuntu live CD to look and see if the hard drive was cleared when the computer shop tried to reinstall XP.

As a bonus I think that might come with a free upgrade to windows 7, too - which I'd recommend as it seems a lot friendlier than vista.

You have (almost) succeeded in tempting me! Oh dear - better go for a dog walk until the feeling wears off!

Mind you anything is better than a dead Sony Vaio that had 80 Hard Drive and 512 memory!! That is one of reasons I did not have Sony repaired. But am going to get a external hard drive and put a big notice up to remind to back up back up and back up!!

when you get your tracking number from Dell, if it doesn`t work, put a zero in front of it and try that..... I was trying for days, without success, to see where mine was, and it was not until the day before it actually arrived, that I found out, that Dell had missed off the zero !..

The computer booted the live Ubuntu CD alright-even wireless worked.Unfortunately,although I went into System and saw the Windows programme files I couldn't see anything in Documents or Pictures.
With my own dual-boot Ubuntu I can see docs and what-have-you in the Vista partition and can open and amend them.
Wonder if I did something wrong? We both had a good look round but couldn't see anything relevant.
