thanks for that advice, it sounds like a headache I can do without. 

incidentally, I am finding it hard to believe that the hacking and the 
hardware failure happening the very same evening was a coincidence. Have you 
ever heard of a hacker trashing hardware, while leaving the OS intact? The 
machine has symptoms of a failed motherboard or CPU, different from the disk 
problems we have had in the past with this raq4r. Is it possible s/he 
flashed the bios...? 

many thanks,
Julian
