Hi Mike, yes, I did wonder about a drive overlay issue - hence my
request for confirmation of Vincent's method of formatting. IIRC, I
would expect an error report to this effect as an overlayed drive

It's been a V E R Y long time.

.. I was amused to see that it has been updated

Windows XP or later. etc., .."

And that was updated 2 years ago!! Things soon become obsolete in
this business. (Remind me to tell you about my 1yr -10m old 40" LCD
