Thanks all for your help on this, much appreciated. Not an auspicious choice of machine to start out on!
The sony's bios seems incapable of switching raid off, spent some time toggling settings and retrying the install. Looks as if Paul's patch is the next step. Work took over during the week so will give it a go this weekend and report back. Thanks, Simon.
