Alexlinux Thanx for your comments. I have tried numbers sda0 up to sda9 .... No joy. With the addition of the splash and quiet words in the 1st line , there is no more stuff rushing past the screen anymore but the machine still hangs with the lights flashing. you can imagine I had to switch of and back on ten times to do this ... oh where has my lovely ubuntu (not to mention all my precious data) gone??!!?? One love!
