It is a complete nightmare...

First it doesn't recognise my LAN cards, then I realise that the boot disk is drive H (you can't re-name it of course) so I am back to: -

Setup will complete in approxiamtely: 39 minutes

Possibly a stupid question but have you monkeyed around with the jumper settings on your drives?

I am temporarily fixated with the phrase 'Que?'. Please try to understand and excuse me…

Pull the drive out and check the jumper settings, depending on what he default setting was it could be conflicting with the other drives causing the confusion with the H drive setting.

Yes I know all that stuff... I've been working on 'PCs' for the past twenty-five bastard years! Banghead

For some reason it set the disk after the removable drives (even tho the last time it did it before)... I had to remove the removable drives (card reader) completely re-install and plug them back in...  Banghead

Why is he on the roof fitting PCs?
My PC is in the house, surely they are hard to use if you have to climb on the roof to reach the slot to insert a disc.

It seems to me I've heard that song before
It's from an old familiar score
I know it well, that melody

It's funny how a theme
Recalls a favorite dream
A dream that brought you so close to me

I know each word, because I've heard that song before
The lyrics said: "for evermore"
For evermore's a memory

Please have them play it again
And (Then) I'll remember just when
I heard that lovely song before
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
