Reader Reviews
Mark Edward Soper, can you just kind of "pick up your shoe and I'll kiss the bottom?" I hold a BSEE, a MSEE and I am a Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (2002). I cannot praise this author enough for this work, I have utilized his complete information from BIOS to preparing/formatting hard drives to troubleshooting the PC and it's subsystems from Windows 9x to XP all the way from A to Z. I can't thank the author enough, I wrote to him personally and thanked him. Thanks again!!
