| Thanks, basket.
Looks like good advice. I tried to find a site from which to download
Hiren's Boot CD. I did a Google search and found lots of references to
Hiren's Boot CD but didn't find a site from which to download it. In fact,
lots of the references were from people complaining that it is almost
impossible to find a download site!!
Any ideas on where to find Hiren's Boot CD?
