I have tested the hard disk with Windows 2000 Pro Checkdisk with and W/O the options checked to fix it and got no errors. I ran Fix-It 5 - Disk Fixer and found no errors. Norton Utilities says, NO errors in system area, No errors to file structure and No index errors.

I have run Spinrite 6.0 in the past on this harddrive with no errors while it had this reboot problem. Spinrite is on floppy. I can not run it again right now on this computer as my floppy is not cooperating.

Sometimes on booting it will stay up. If it lasts more than 1 minute and 20 seconds after I enter the password and hit return, it probably will stay up otherwise, I catch it in the Bios for 3-5 minutes then go on.

I called Kim Kommando's radio show to ask about it and was told it was too complex to handle on the show.
