trust me nob, leave 8 alone it is absolute sh**** Thanks Anne, noted its just an idea. I can install 7 if I go with it and don't like it. I'll see if I can sort this mess out first. I know you like it Geoff. |

Ooooerrr, that's it then, my disc director installer is going straight into the bin! Nob didn't you also have a true image backup? No matter how many times I look at W8, I just don't like the damned thing. I still think that it's only for tablet puters and smartfones. They need to get W9 out pdq or they'll be losing more customers to macbooks etc. (still reckon Linux is a good shout)  |

You gave me an idea, ive an image of the lappy that is virtually the same as the desktop. Then extend the volume to max.  Might give that a try with acronis true image when ive sorted the other issues out. |

It's all the Scotch he keeps supping.  JJ just mess about with them that's all, anyway the lappy is 32 bit and PC 64 so I can't use the lappy image so I'm going to stick 7 back on. Sod it. |

It's true what Nob say's though about 'just messing about' with them, it's amazing what you learn just by giving it a lash. I've amazed myself a few times with puters, by just giving it a go. And as you all know, I'm pretty damned amazing anyway, so it's double hard for me to amaze myself innit?  |

I'll get a large external drive for that very purpose. |

Yep, I've just checked and my 1tb ext hard drive, has my Acronis true image, all-in-one and lappy back ups on it (one of each) and has only 380gbs left free.  Actually Nob...they aren't that dear now, well worth the dosh imo. |

Yes Dave I'm going to get one they are a must IMO. For instances like this. Its not as if you need any special software 7 has its own. But if it was only me using the PC I wouldn't have needed a bigger drive.  |
