Too right, Amos!

I'll have to work through that stuff to make sense of it.

I reinstated Windows using a disc that came with the computer that restores the origibal system, not a Windows 98 disc as such. Of course the second disc wasn't there in the original system. I might have a floppy with the drive manager on it for all I know, but I've never noticed it - otherwise I'll go back and ask the people who installed it.

The advice about deleting the discs from Device Manager sounds interesting - though the term given there is "remove" which doesn;t sound quite so drastic. Is the idea that when they are removed and I reboot they might turn up back in My Computer as well? Computers do seem to have the strangest ways of acting.
