It saw drives including the only hard drive, but would not let me use it.I then tried booting without USB, to lose all the memory card drive letters and got stuck as it was a USB keyboard. Time for some emails.Oh dear... it worked well for me...One thing I have learned when working on a PC, always have a proper plug-in (i.e. not USB) keyboard available... The bastard thing will stop recognising USB devices at the most inopportune moment... I was working on a customer system yesterday - hit "Esc" to skip the memory check worked fine but then "it any key to boot from CD..." didn't recognise the USB keyboard... Which is why we have on screen keyboards installed no all our work pcs, just in case.

It could be worse BM, I had a panicked phone call from a friend who was reinstalling Windows on his machine pleading for help as he couldnt find the 'any key' was on the keyboard.

I doubt if Nick knows where it is either.
I think that Nick should apply for a software testing job at Microsoft. If they can get something past that level of quality control without farting and falling over then its ready for the public.
