Creeping Death is right, it's not quite four grand, but I'd pick myself up Maximum PC's Dream Machine 2000, with a few minor modifications.

I'm impressed! This is the most civil PC/Mac debate I've ever seen. Usually these things drop into discussions as deep as "Crapintosh SUX!!!!", and "M$ Winblows 95!!!". Instead, we have an...

Hire, I think you're right. I just tried it on my Win2K box and got "invalid parameter - /autotest". Oh well.

I've never heard of the "/autotest" switch. What does it do? I checked format /? and it wasn't there. Is it similar to the /y switch in something like xcopy?

The following is by no means a suggestion on how to treat your computer, but it is true. Nevertheless, don't try this at home.

All the advice here makes sense, but I think I should add that if you are using win95b or later, there is no need to make it FAT16, because 95b can read FAT32.

I've had a similar problem before too, and you're right, a restart almost always fixes it.
