sweet dude cheers
im not too sure what you meant by this
"another PC with an internet connection (fast if possible) and a way to transfer files to the formatted PC (burn a CD or use a USB drive) This is for when you need to update drivers right after installation, before you can even set up your internet connection."
but ill ahve a look at that XPTC thing and see if i can figure it out....however if you do happen to read this again would you be able to explain a little bit more???
i may however have already found out but ill post if i do...
many thanks
