Dera Mailing List,

I am hijacking my thread back!

I use Xming on Windows as X client to connect remotely. It's on
Sourceforge -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming .

Good luck!

To close the original thread, it turned out one HD of the two on same
IDE channel was dying, replaced it and issue is gone. For some strange
reason the dying HD locked up the IDE channel making both HDs vanish.

Thank you to all that responded!

/Roger
