[nmglug] Check a disk?

[Ted Pomeroy]

NMGLug-ers, No boot either with or without the hdd. This machine has
been hard to boot for over a year and may finally have overheated the
cpu or other crucial part. It is a HP dv4 - and at least one person
has condemned it as unreliable and over priced. It was new in 2009 and
sold through 2010.
thank you, Ted P.
