cheers for that m8 :lol:

ive actually tried all of that and it didnt solve the problem... quite strange really because adjusting the jumpers didnt seem to actually do a lot... and configured the BIOS for the slave and master and just couldnt resove it...

of the whole I.T scene, the internal components of the system unit is probably my weakest point so maybe I need to get someone that knows a bit more than me about it to have a look... I may be not doing something correctly perhaps, lol...
