Well I put it on another machine, formatted the Linux off it and
installed Win2000 ... guess what S   L   O   W and wasn't even on the
network ;-) While taking it out the machine I noticed it had a 3 year
warrantee and still valid, so logged on to Maxtor and seems I just
need to send it back and two days later a replacement arrives!

Anyway, latest saga ... probably the last as I'm pretty well sick of
trying to get Mandrake to work on my machine ... is that the MS
optical mouse won't work. Tried a work around Derek found me:

"you�ve got to edit the /etc/modules file, just include the hid module
you must add "hid" into the file /etc/modules then the mouse works
fine"

but still doesn't work.
 
With best wishes,

Dave
