I've been thinking about this. Is there any mileage in trying to make a mini database, to attempt to find patterns? For instance, I would think that the things most likely to affect it are bios version, motherboard, cd, dvd, cd-rw and floppy - you may be able to add others. Since most of us will know little about the floppy drives, we would have to discount this and concentrate on the others. If we, for instance set up a thread with column headings for each of these, could those who have problems add their details - make, drive speed etc? If any similarities emerge it would perhaps give Mandrake something to go on? Just a suggestion - if it's impracticable we could think again. Anne
