Thanks for the quick reply.

Step by step is just fine with me, I appreciate the detail.

Thanks for this one, never would have come up with it on my own.

I had originallly planned on putting Win95 on first so I wouldn't have
to do it twice but I will follow your route.
Now I will have to tell my daughter to haul her machine home from

laptop.
Thanks again for you help.
Regards, Jim
