asuweb.......
The printer is an HP Deskjet 5550 and I've tried using both the original disk (as commanded) and letting Vista search out the driver for me but they both came to ought.
keef.............
Things have moved on a little now. Having got all my photos and documents across to Vista I decided to see if I could remove GRUB and return this PC to the previous set up, ie: WinXP on the master drive and use the slave as a back up for all my files. I was reluctant to remove the boot loader prior to this as I could see things going spectacularly wrong. However, I managed to do so without tears being shed and I hope to have another PC very shortly which I will use as dedicated Linux machine.
Bit of thread drift now...........
Having formatted the slave HDD to NTFS (from FAT32 Linux) Partition Magic tells me that I have
Disk 1 (Master)
NTFS 78,152.1MB Primary
Unallocated 7.8MB Primary
Disk 2 (Slave)
Unallocated 7.8 Primary
Extended 78,152.1MB Primary
NTFS 78,152.1MB Logical
With, in each case, details of used/unused space.
I'm a bit puzzled about the Primary/Logical info. Shouldn't there just be one entry here? I suspect that I might have been a bit cack handed with Partition Magic.
Anyway..... if you have been, thanks for reading, Gentlemen.
