While it helps to do the prep, I don't think it's a requirement -- If the default (special) driver doesn't load windows should fall back to it's base drivers. Granted that would result in a 640x480 VGA display, but it would work. Drivers for disks are a little tricker -- if you need a special driver for the new controller, and it's not on the disk image then you'll have a problem. But you might be able to get around that w/a repair boot. BTW, I would recommend running servers @ 800x600 without special native drivers -- after all they're servers, do you really need access to DirectX 10.0 with 10 zillion giga flops of video processing? <G> -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x3051 WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.
