Hi everyone,

You're all probably sick of hearing of my Centris.

Okay, for those of you that don't know, it works now.

But I have one little detail I ran into today. See, it works fine, like I said, but today was the first time I've been on it since I fixed it. It's been about two days. Anyway, I started it up, not bothering to boot it from the disk, because it was installed, right? Wrong. It told me that I didn't shut the computer down properly last time I was on it, but I'm sure I did. I had to completely reinstall the Operating System on it, and only then did it work.

Now, it did tell me that it had found a problem with the hard drive, but the problem was fixed. So now it'll probably work fine without the OS; tomorrow I'll fire it up again and find out.

But just in case I have to install that OS yet again, might anyone be able to tell me what I might have done wrong?

Thanks,
