Hi Gordon

Thanks for the reply.   I have the SuSE 9 evaluation copy from LXF which 
I recall boots from the cddrive and runs putting minimal files on the 
HD.   I ran in on the desktop with Linux installed but am not sure if 
it can be run after bboting Windows.   I will have a play.

The bios on the laptop cannot be configured to boot from the CD.   I 
will consider the options you suggest but I have a feeling the problem 
may be something to do with the HD recognition.

Cheers
Graham
