Do you have 'virus protection' or 'mbr protection' enabled in the BIOS? Some BIOS's by default lock out the MBR so its read only (on the premise that you rarely need to write to it and when you do, you go into the BIOS to disable the protection temporarily whilst you do it). - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
