(ahhh) - Moved the TX2000 from PCI 3 -> PCI 6. Boots from the cd fine. - Put cover back on, won't boot from cd (growl). - Replace infra-red mouse with standard 2 button mouse. Boots from cd fine.

I will post an update on the final state of affairs, but so far so good. Thanks for the replies - made me think! regards Mark
