Mike - I am afraid not.  I had already changed the drive order in the 
BIOS, but it didn't want to see the drive.  I am thinking I might have a 
CDR/RW problem. :-(
When I try to start from DOS, I get a message saying "This program will 
not run from DOS" :'(
I must get the drive checked - a number of discs won't function properly.

Thanks for trying.

Cheers
