We have just converted NT4 Peer to Peer Network to Windows 2003 SBS with XP on each desk. That is hard enough to live with without the added problem of new software. The change from NT was to accommodate new accounting/job costing software which I now find is totally btrieve and based on the original DOS versions of the program, and it is the most user unfriendly software I have seen for a loooong time.

Are you meaning the Win toolkit? We have "only" the OS/2 gear, which took a long time to find, courtesy of a highly intelligent life-form aka OS/2 programmer!

Deleted WIN 95 and installed WIN XP in that partition ( C ). Had a lot of trouble with my hardware however. I think my MB or BIOS must be at it's limit. I disconnected HDD 2 & 3 for pre run and when reconnected, the BIOS couldn't detect any HDD, which panicked me. Even got a computer repairer to try to fix it but he couldn't . Said my 5 yr. old system was too old and it would be better to buy a new computer. Had been going alright till then so I thought that the BIOS was probably having difficulty seeing two 40G & one 20G drives . Decided to wait a day or so and try again. To my joy the 3 HDD's were detected and I was able to install WIN XP after extensive backups in case anything happened as I disconnected drives 2 & 3 to do this. After installation WIN XP booted OK. Then I activated BMG by going to LVM via the eCS installation disk. Then reconnected HDD 2 & 3 and again no drives could be detected. Then disconnected drive 3 and retried. HDD 2 & 3 were detected , so I booted eCS and later WIN XP then shut down and reconnected HDD 3. Rebooted and all drives were detected so i've got a going system again. Can't say that WIN XP thrills me and probably the programs I have used on WIN 95 won't run on it. I mainly got it just in case I have trouble using a DVD burner which is my next project. However Kev seems to know how to set up RSJ so I have high hopes. Regards Alan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
