Ahh i forgot all about the jumpers on the back of the drives, i was looking all around by the IDE sockets! Everything's working A-ok now so i'm quite chuffed.

I suppose using 512Mb of ram isn't tooo bad, i was getting a bit worried with the talk of motherboards capable of holding 8 and 16Gb of ram. Saying that though i can;t see me upgrading to vista anytime soon once it comes out - bit of a cash strapped student!

That's great you got it going right now. I was a cash strapped student too. Then one day I married the professor.
