Hi Tim,

Unfortunately I dont think that would work on this PC.

I tried all the boot manage software that was available but the only way
the
PC would actually see the drive to boot was if I put the jumper in place to
tell the BIOS it was a 32Gb drive. Without the jumper it refuses to work.
It
also wont handle more than one CD Rom drive irrespective of which of the
IDE
channels they are on. :-(
