Thanks, Andrew. It is a Toshiba and I have the recovery CD, but I am reluctant
to use it
whilst the machine still boots properly from time to time. It would restore to
factory settings
with the original XP Pro. I would need to download service Packs and numerous
updates not
to mention installing all the software (if I can find the CDs!). I would have
to think carefully
before going down that route for a 3 year old machine. Yet I hate to scrap
anything which is
still usable.
