Thanks Peter.

I will attempt to recover data from the dying HDD as you wrote, but it
is difficult since for the past 24+ hours that disk is more dead than
alive. That is, I can't get the computer to recognize it when it is
going "click-click-click".

:-(

But, I will keep on trying until it works. I need to recover my PST
file first and foremost! What do you all think of my taking apart the
HDD and tinkering with it? Any words of wisdom?

Steve


Opening your hard drive will take you from bad to disaster. Suggest that
you not even try.

Frequently applications, such as your Dell software,that require .NET
Framework will include .NET Framework in a folder on the installation CD.
