Ta. I'll look at that later.
I tried it again and it failed at 64% again. I cut another disc, and lo, it's into the next stage.
At the first reboot, it again couldn't find NTLDR (is missing.) this is what it says if I try to boot from the target drive. I fear that there is something still very wrong. It says it's expanding files, but it's already done that. Don't want to leave it, and don't want to sit here another hour. Decisions. When it shut down to reboot, I had to force a shutdown and re start.
Sounds a bit terminal, wouldn't you say?
The only thing is, that all this is going on from a C: which is not the intended drive. It won't boot from the DVD so I can't see any other option. But the drive letters are wrong, but the target for the few files that copied, is correct.
All this would be resolved if it would boot from the DVD. If this is the issue, I may as well start downloading another copy.
I had one heck of a job convincing them that my 10 year old e-address was mine. Soooooooo much BS getting that sorted.
