An addendum. On some occasions I have found that the bios will only boot from the primary master (despite what boot priority you give any other internal disk drives).

(and it is not stated whether the machine has single or multiple drives). - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
