SORRYabout that. My mind was somewhere else. Never the less. I'm squared away. Motherboard prob. Master boot record screwup. Thanks for the effort anyway.

if you are running XP, start with the xp disk in the drive and enter repair mode. At the prompt type:
fixmbr
fixboot

this will repair your mbr.
For vista, it is similar, just open the prompt when available and use:
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot
