Ok, The story so far. I managed to find a copy of Nero V4. I spent ages downloading bits and pieces from the nero website to get the wretched thing to work properly but it will not, under any circumstances, recognise my CD Writer and insists on writing the image as a virtual recording - image.rng- one file, not many.

I had another look at the old computer and changed the cmos settings to boot from the first drive which I renamed as CDROM and disabled the remaining two drives. Guess what? It loaded windows anyway and didn't even bother with the Cd Drive other than to check that it was there!

It rather looks as though there is a lot more wrong with this machine than I first thought, perhaps the only solution is a lump hammer!
