Thx to SuperSparks, Train, Steve R Jones, SpywareDr, for your comments and suggestions but one thing is for sure I'm not going to refresh the BIOS altho BIOS updates utility came a long way since the days of w98 I don't want to chance it for the pleasure of installing win 7 after all this Rig came originally with Vista and Win 7 is just a tweaked Vista and it I should be able to install it.
I'll try some thing a bit different and of course I'll let you know all about it.
Thx again!
