sorry Steve, i didn't mean i was confused with mine.
i meant i was confused with what 'you' said.



see above

your normal mode doesn't show a geom at all. ??
let alone a false one.
indicating problem.  surprising.

see below

your disk mode shows a geom??
indicating success.


anyhow i tried disk mode and it was the same result for me.
ie doesn't work.
except that after it the whole machine froze.
couldn't even ping it from elsewhere.

Paul.
