Cheers guys, I connected the floppy cable every-which-way possible on all three drives, but to no avail. And in the BIOS everything suggests that the floppy is recognised. I made another ****-up and thought I'd screwed my CPU (a nice new Barton XP) when I changed the fsb to 200mhz, when I reset, nothing happened! So I read the manual and had to change the "J10" jumpers to safe mode and it was ok, panic over! Back on the floppy, I reckon it may be the Mobo too, so I rushed my PC down to my local PC place and they are looking at it for me. Apparently the red data cable I used for HDD drive may not be the right one. It Shows up on the start up screen and in the BIOS as the Primary, with the DVD as the secondary,but perhaps because I haven't got a second (slave) HDD attached to the "slave" socket on the middle of the red data cable, this may be why I keep getting the "No Fasttrack" message.
Oh well, I shall keep trying! Thanks again for the advice, I am sure I'll be back for more!!!!!!
