There is no data on it that I need. I need to be able to install and use
a program on it. If I cannot get it to boot by itself and finish
installing SP 1, I will put the Ubuntu drives back in and boot that way.
That probably means I won't be able to install SP 1. The way things have
been going lately it's likely the program will not install without SP1.
Of course I don't know that for sure but I am going to keep it as my
last option.
Thanks, Jim
