	I am looking to find again, a .doc that I saved somewhere. In the mean
time, the secret was to go beyond the "Repair" that you first
find when doing the CD reinstall. Go for the "Install again" and
then it will see that there is already an OS on the machine and offer you a
second "Repair" and that one ought to do the trick. I am sure
that you can read the next instructions on your screen.

	I am quoting this from my personal RAM and subject to wash out !
