NDD to the rescue once more.
I scanned for viruses - none found. I then ran Norton and it rebuilt the MBR and the partition tables. All better!
Thanks for all the help. I wish they were all that easy.
P.S.
He has Norton Utilities installed but never created a rescue disk. There is now one with his computer!!
Regards,
Frank Stadmeyer
