[-- Attachment #1 --] Well you can imagine my excitement when the CD turned up at home, and I slaveringly placed it in the drive and kicked off that install. But excitement quickly gave way to terror, when, after several attempts at unsuccessfully completing the exercise, I tried to get NT started again ( in the other partition ) - trying being the word. I don't know how they did it but even though I had the MBR write protected, they still managed ( against my fervent desire, and I like to think, carefull step by step following the instructions ) change the active boot partition etc. Fortunately after what seemed like a long sweety period of time, I managed to boot off a DOS disk ( to the rescue yet again!) and set tings right - after running the NT repair process several times to no avail. Now I know that you will say " You chose the SNAP version - so you are taking your 'life' into your own hands" and to a certain extent you are correct, but quite frankly I think that a standard install should go ahead without issue, and I would expect that the install tools would be pretty standard and error free by now. Ernestly awaiting some sort of reply ( good or bad ), Piers Harding. Hi, Your order has been processed and will ship as soon as possible.
