thnx for the links.. I'll try them if my computer still has problems after it
comes back from service. I sent it in yesterday because I think there is
something seriously wrong with it.. Now it wont detect any harddrives or its
trying to boot from disk when theres no disc to boot from!?! =)

best regards / jonas
