Cheers Guys,
I am going to be away for a few days, I'll have a play on my return.

Another computer question - hard drives

Sorted!
I have sorted out the problem. I went over to the hard drive manufacturers site (maxtor) and downloaded a utility program (Maxblast3) that enables hard drive setup. I created a bootable floppy disk and booted up with the floppy disk. The hard drive could than be re-partitioned and then formatted as a FAT32 drive. The utility also allows you to copy the contents of one drive to another. I did that and the system is now working fine, with the 80GB drive properly recognised.

Well done. Glad you got it fixed. You really should get XP though 
No point on my old PC. When I finally get a new one it'll be a different story. Longhorn will be out by then though!
