Doug, I apologise for saying 516 when it was actually 516, but please, 
- have a heart. I started the flashing at around 2pm today, having 
been assured it would be a simple process. I didn't time it, but I 
guess the procedure took no more than 4 minutes, so by 2:05pm it was 
complete. The time now, as I type is 7:05pm - FIVE HOURS LATER and I'm 
still struggling and no further on. (Before you say it, yes I know 
that using capitals is akin to shouting - or in my case, screaming!!).
I'm fed up. I'm not technical, have not the slightest interest in 
becoming technical, just doing my best to answer kind people's queries 
on here as best I can. Please don't pick on me - especially as the 
error I made in the message didn't and won't have any effect on what 
is currently happened because the line in question has been removed 
and resulted in no improvement whatsoever. I'm sitting here struggling 
with a hugely magnified screen that's been in this state since 2:05pm 
:-(

That sounds very likely. Next question - what? How do I find out?

I've already posted a reply to cj with both a screenshot of this 
directory attached and also my Desktop file from Choices.Boot
John Sandford has already kindly emailed me direct to suggest that I 
remove Interim and LoadUSB2 permanently and also !Uniprint temporarily  
to see if that helps. I've done all that and re-booted - result - no 
difference at all. I am still staring at a magnified screen and I 
still got the UniServeFS  not recognised error message.

If you have any other advice I'd gratefully receive it.

Regards,
