No way to do that on this MOBO. Hitting F6 just gives me a screen asking for a
driver disk in A
then it asks for xxxxxtext.oem which I haven't got so mission impossible!

4 Partitions but only 1 format as that's the only option. So I presume that

its looking for the other 3 formatted partitions?
Should have used MaxBlast4 and done the lot beforehand. Doh!
