Bob, I can only say I changed the bios settings on booting, went to the perfomance setting (Cressida advised), did a lot of things over again, might have made a mistake first time around, but with all your replies, (I referred back to them constantly), Works like a charm. A very learning expierience, to impose one more time, (hope I'm not running out of imposes), would it be a big deal to transfer one of my hard drive,s from one computer, (not the same one) to another, both are Sata. Can they simply be switched?
