Hi George, I wish I'd found that when I had my problems. But it is firmly in favourites now, thanks. And yes, I could do that <Smile>.

The following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article explains how it's done. It is technical, but that shouldn't worry some people I could mention!

I think the only answer is to reformat, and pay more attention to the drive lettering <Smile>.

By "active primary" I mean that when you turn on your computer, it tries to boot from the first available partition, and of course if there's nothing on there, or nothing to indicate that an operating system exists, then it'll just stop dead and probably display an error message. Only sighted assistance could get you out of this trouble. Hope that helps.
