Ah, pardon me. If the MB supports boot from USB (as newer ones do), then surely it would boot?

I rekon its not the hard-drive anyway its the CPU
IMHO p4 @ 3.2ghz in a laptop is just a bad move (i have a toshiba that has one in and it used to overheat all the time)
Infact It killed 2 512mb ram modules and a wireless card (well i think it killed the wireless card it just started corrupting data might have been because it was a crap wi-fi card)

In my acer the problem is that there is just very little HD cooling. The fan only seems to kick in when the processor heats up, and it has very little effect on HD temps.
In fact, I've just done an online virus scan which sent my HD temp up to 51. The fan stopped the moment the scan was finished. I think the drive would benefit from the fan working a little longer if any air actually passed over it. I don't think it does though.
