D-Link DWL-520+ Wireless Locks up W2K bootup

grzzzz
Procedures followed (software installed then hardware). W2K locks up on reboot. Removal of card restores boot sequence. On Safe mode boot up and w/ card installed the DWL-520+ resides in Device Manager and states card is working.

Control over multi-sector transfers on HDD!

Shin_Magus
Hi. Here's the story: I have a Samsung SP1604N 160 GB HD that doesn't seem healthy. In fact, it hangs my system from time to time. S. M. A. R. T. lets WinXP tell me this HD is at risk, when I go to the Computer Management window (Administrative Tools).
