I have a selection of USB hard drive adapters (who needs a case :-) so
I'll see what I can get hold of at work tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be able
to get hold of a drive for the few minutes it'll take to flash the BIOS.
I'll probably still have a go at building a bootable Windows CD in case
I ever need one again.

Appearance is unimportant, I only want to do one thing then I'll go back
to Linux :-)
Thanks,

play with the little squeaking feathery/furry things that they find and bring
home. It's probably more humane on the wildlife to starve the buggers.
