Hi there...:) Thanks for the idea.. wasn't aware of that... removed the extra RAM and still no go... however I discovered something in the meantime... With or without the extra RAM the install menu does finally show up, however when I select "quick install" or whatever it gives me an error almost immediately that there is no hard drive to install to. It still isn't finding the drive even though it identifies it when first starting up and during the bootdsk load. More ideas? :) Paul
