Matt - the appendix on the EZ-GIG user guide I included a link to on my earlier post suggests that I actually replace my existing drive with new one BEFORE copying and boot up with a floppy supplied by EZ-GIG which then steps through the procedure - maybe you missed something too as this seems to cover the lack of bootable cd... I just need to know whether I need to change the BIOS on my existing drive before I start the process and how do i do this??
