[QUOTE="amerikiwi, post: 922531, member: 125946"] Hi Hugh, thanks so much for your reply. I may like to have a crack at your recommendation of removing the hard drive to test it and will forward you my email address momentarily. I don't know if this might change your initial impressions at all but I figured out that the thumping noise was coming from the CD drive when it was trying to read an install disk rather than the hard drive itself. It seemed to stop once the disk was mounted so I'm pretty sure that's what it was. Does that change your thoughts about removing the hard drive for testing? If I do have it tested though and it turns out the problem is a corrupted system folder, would that be something that can easily be fixed or would I need a new hard drive? Thanks again.
