Thanks, HB. That was quick!
I'm attempting an install with a Windows CD, full licence,etc.
After the preamble, I get:
1: C\WINDOWS
Which Windows installation would you like to log onto?
So, having entered '1' it then asks for the password which is where the fun begins, or possibly ends, depending on which way you look at things.
It's somewhat bizarre that I can't get straight into the 'Format' option.
I've even contemplated removing the HDD, hanging it on the end of the appropriate lead, and formatting it that way but given that it isn't my machine, I'm unwilling to delve.
Ta.
N o t a
ETA I don't get the option to press 'R'. The process just goes straight into the procedure outlined above.
