    THX jtdoom...glad thas normal i thought it probably would be...

    i'm still wondering wether Win2k should have detected system changes after messing with MBR? and was it detecting a difference in the MBR...

    if win2k was right to detect system changes after messing with the MBR then i guess all is OK now, could any1 let me know please.

    Gradually getting there, thx for all the help
