Many thanks Chaps.
With the exceptional help of CRM250 (aka Paul), I've got the thing sorted.
Basically, put the drive in my good pac as the master (i.e. disconnected my two existing drives from the power and IDE cables). Began the Win2k setup uotp where it asks you to reboot. Powered down the machine and took the drive and my good DVD RW drive upstairs and put it in the PC and continued setup. Viola........
Can now dump all my 2005 images on that machine out of the way.
Cheers Paul.
Owe you a beer mate (or a good deal on a spankin VJ23
)
