Hi!

Thank you for that news - at least I'm not the only one having this problem.
The machine I'm using is a HP ML330 with 2x72GB U320 SCSI HDDs and some
software details just in case this is somehting else we have in common.

I have Symantec Antivirus software version 9.0 with groupware protection
installed and of course HP management tools.

In case I find out somehting new I'll let you know.

Thomas
