[QUOTE="Crumbly, post: 1920041, member: 409148"] Belated update and a query: Re-installation went well and it got rid of all the bad blocks, etc., so I was able to fully de-fragment HD contents via Norton Utilities Speed Disk. Over the last few days, it's had a thorough testing and apart from the non-working Zip drive, it seems as stable as when it was new - but I'm unable to set the year correctly - the computer thinks it's 1922. This doesn't seem to be causing any problems other than picking up 'incorrect file creation / modification dates' when running Norton Utilities Disk Doctor, but I'll be putting the system up for sale soon and would like to be able to set the correct year, if possible. (The month and time of day read correctly on every startup - it's just the year won't play ball). [/QUOTE]
