Yep he did repeat himself and the second time around I understood it.

Guess I need to say sorry also. Been sufferring from a bad head cold the last 4 days and its driving me nuts. Didn't have a cold all winter long and now that its spring/summer middle of June I get a stupid cold. I hate colds.

Plus while playing around with PM 8 trying to give myself more room I ended up making "unallocated space". I hate that when it happens. Luckly I had a borked up Linux install so I could install XP along itself and not lose any info. (I did have my important stuff backed up, but still hate starting over). I have that all fixed now.

So I'll try your suggestion again. On the next install.

Again sorry for my outburst and numbskullness
