   When I saw "(in the BIOS)" in Your reply the MB BIOS is all I thought   
   of, I didn't think that it could be the BIOS on the HDD.   
      
   I think long time ago me and Jean talked about this and I learned it   
   applied to HDDs on Notebooks only.   
   The computer I mostly use is a mini-tower.   
      
   But just now thinking about it I hadn't thought to do that to the HDD   
   on the Vista notebook here.   
   Thanks for the reminder... Now where did I put that ROUNDTUIT List...
