After suffering from a ground strike of lightening (yes I have a UPS
and that
didn't help) and losing my Epox MB, power supply and one HD I expected
the worst.

I installed the new MSI MB and the "cloned" drive I was plesantly
surprised to see that
it booted and just asked me for software updates for the video, sound
and utilities. All
this time I was giving XXLONE the credit for a well done job
