I want to install SP1 on another hard drive so I can use it with Pinnacle
Edition 6 Pro video editting software as it apparently runs much quicker. It
won't let me because I've got SP 2 on my boot drive. Any ideas?

Gerry, can you disconnect the SP2 Drive and do a new install on the other
drive?

Hi Barry,

Thanks for that. I tried it and it started to load OK but when I pressed F8
to accept the EULA, nothing happened. It just sat and looked at me.
(Actually I sat and looked at it too!!)

You may want to go to the Manufacturer's website of the Hard Drive and
download a Diagnostic Utility.
