I didn't realise that "bootable" was just a mark that can be ignored.

Er, this is the thread. I do have a different thread with a different
problem (a problem with one of the optical drives) that I will keep
going in addition to this thread, as they are seperate problems.

I don't get any error message- it just hangs. For instance, it'sa now
been on 35% for over four hours. I'll pull the plug and start over,
but I don't expect much.


Thanks.
