thanks guys yes, those issues mentioned are generally what happened - the majority of the time, I was demonstrating the ulimate power of linux (how it would work with minimal config) and attempting to fix windows' admin issues through editing the files. So yes, in most cases I had accessesed the hard drive. My Music teacher wasn't happy; I argued for a couple of minutes using most of what's been mentioned, until I realised it was fruitless, and questioned you lot for some solid evidence! No luck, however, on the admin issues... Cheers :D =============================== Farran Lee I'm only 15 :-P
