Tell me about it! Pages don't open or give errors or
lead to a rabbit warren of irrelevant links. English
often incomprehensible. No more Asus products for this
buckaroo!

Yes, I read that bit. But it comes up "On" in another
PC.

Just happen to have PQ7. Can't use it at all on the
Sempron box. I used it on the K6 box
to generate the two disk boot disk set but they are
not transferable to the Sempron box. They boot to a
gray/green screen with some garbled text and then
nothing.

Think I'll try qparted mentioned by James Hiscock
further up the list.
BTW, I tried installing another, 200M drive as master
and emerged grub onto it. When I ran grub it took
about 2mins before finally giving the error: lost
interrupt. Is that fatal?
