I have it working now but not using an SATA drive i have found an old IDE job and installed on that to get back on line there are still some odd bits giving grief but i can live with those till i get a new mother board and drive , Always had a lot of sucsess with A S Rock boards so see if i can find one to suit Thanks Pete ..
