I know what you mean though, it's not the sort of thing that many people tend to have kicking around these days. Thank god newer motherboards seem to accept recovery by USB stick (although as you say it's an older board so you need a floppy). I have one or two floppies kicking around but I believe they aren't much cop anymore. RobI have a few lying around, i think there are one or two in my laptop bag Paul
