Hi folks.

Events seems to have overtaken us.

I took the HDD home to run it on my machine and it is a mess. I couldn't find any usuable OS and I think it is knackered - so I have binned it. The BIOS did see it OK but it just will not work. It was also a name I was not familiar with!!!

I have ordered an 80gb Maxtor - OEM. Any problems I should watch out for? I will put XP Pro in at startup and so I hope to get it far enough to install. In other words is this the best way? Advice will be appreciated.

Thanks again.

PPP
