Thanks Rick - will try it later as it's a bit late in the UK now and I'll have to download it on my other laptop with the disk player being goosed on this one.
While I won't need it for changing the Boot loader etc. I have a Paragon Rescue Disk that doesn't show the repair options on this laptop but works fine on my other one, so should come in handy - although with a Win 7 install disk I can boot up with it and use the Bootrec commands to fix the MBR etc.
