Ok i'll let it run then, just wanted to check i wasn't waiting for no reason, thanks.
DocBrown, it's not a new board, it's left over from when i upgraded, i'm using some new and some old bits so i suppose i can't rule out the port being bad. It does show the hd in the bios though so maybe it's ok? I've also tried the drive in all but one or two ports and same thing. Frustrating huh? This is what i've been thinking for days, it's driving me mad!!
My son's only four so it's not too much of a stress but every time i let him on the main PC something gets deleted or moved. There were all these left over parts and i thought i know i'll make him his own PC and he can go mad. I'm starting to wish i'd not bothered but don't want it to beat me now lol.
