Beam it in Scotty!! ;-)
I'd be sure you meant that as a joke if it weren't for the country
code on your email and the non-english signature. You can't remove
or install internal disk drives without opening the case.
I had a disk in there which was starting to cause problems. Since I
had the case open to do all the other stuff, and since I had removed
all the dependences I knew of on that disk already, I decided to
remove the disk.
When the machine crashed on Netscape startup I remembered that there
could still be some Netscape preferences files that might still be on
that disk. Not sure, but that's my current theory. I'll try
downloading a new netscape tonite and see if I can fix it before my
wife kills me.
