They did not have a problem with that and helped me all ok.
About the Blue screen- This might be a HDD problem, I have seen these a few times and successfully fixed it with Spin Right. Have a look at www.grc.com, I have bought this app and DID fix a few HDD with it in the past, If you do not want to buy a copy I could have a look for you (not sure if your boss would like a 3rd party to look at his laptop/HDD though) ________________________________________ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
