I have to format my hard drive. I get to the C prompt, but for the life of me I can not remember the keys to type to get er done. Yes it has to be reformatted, can't print, read the 3 1/2" floppy, either cd drive, and it has a mind of it's own. I know it is radical, but have dealt with this for three weeks now. My computer is not hot enough to install Vista. When I try to reinstall xp it says I have a newer version installed, and will not allow it to go forward. I have opened the package on the Vista. I was on Microsoft phone for over 3 1/2 hrs, Mediacom for a additional three hrs all tolled. Their only answer is to reformat my hard drive. Anyone reading this may want to backup their files---Like I know I should have. I was supprised to know that Mc Afee lists no phone number---only website. Microsoft allows 2 phone calls after paying big dollars for Vista. Third phone call is charged to credit card @ $59.00. Wal-Mart will not take opened software at all. I have been advised by numerous teck folks not to use Vista till the first revision comes out. I can return Vista to Microsoft---within 45 days from purchase, but at what rate, etc. I have not discused yet. There seems to be good reasons why Bill Gates has a few more dollars than I do. It does not seem right to talk to some one in India who speaks poor English for computer problems. I'm using my sons computer in case someone is wondering. I am not against using Vista as I get along good with my sons computer with the Vista installed. I am not attempting to double use Vista, and I did pay for a original, They are all home premium. Hey! And Thanks for any help, I'm headed out to the shop, and I know I have a big hammer out there somewhere. NE IA formaly NE IA Dave

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the ...
