Brian,you might be correct with my own pc but we have 4 new Asus equipped pcs when i joined this company just about 4 months ago and at that time all our pc's were nothing but Protel 99se WITH Win98 and XPs licensed version so i think there is no problem with the master boot record but anyway we switched back to Protel 2.7 and i see those other guys trembling with fear when our workload increase in near future as they will have to manual route things and for me ,i translate .pcb files to OrCAD Layout to complete the job,thats much better.Anyway,i appreciate any replies from you all so i consider this problem as "taken out" already althought i will appreciate any response from anyone as i am aware that this is taken sometime for this list.
