Hi Caleb,
Thanks, I will check all the cables if it gets worse. THe board is a
soltek SL-65KVB
which is quite basic (as supplied to UWA for a lab).  It says in its
book that it supports
boot from SCSI,ZIP,LS-120,CDROM which I suspect means not USB.
THe drive has Win2K on it which is why I am using it to boot; I had no
joy tryng to
boot the Win2k from another drive. (just sometimes Win is useful).
