I'm two hours into an install now and would not really like to do that. However, if I am faced with another fs failure after I reboot, I will soon conclude that I have a hardware problem. The only catch is that the OEM Windows 7 fs has not exhibited any problems yet, because I've only booted into it a dozen times so far. Not even sure if I can claim from the warranty for this laptop. --=20 Regards, Mick
