    I've had a few problems with double sided dvd's - but that's about it. I've just slipstreamed my install with SP2 and added drivers for SATA which is quite nice - got to do it for network card and wireless adaptor also (saves a bit of time and stuffing about)

    works quite nicely aside from the double sided dvd issue (liteon drive oem'd as sony - so no support from either company)

    it's taken me a little over 3 hours to do the complete rebuild and reformat - and about 6 to download my 400mb mail file from my exchange server!
