Thanks Thomas I drive over after lunch and attack the machine again, and post the data to the group as well as yourself.
I still have this gut feeling about microsoft, for instance on a machine with 2 HDs one has winxp on it the other MDK 9.1 if you mount the drive with winxp on it then as root attempt to list the contents .Why should you get permission denied messages. this dos'nt happen with win2000 which is also ntfs . it dos'nt explain why on install you can get a failure to write the partition table to the mbr.
