yeah i will do it mate, and yes it did work anyway, iv had to install windows 7 64bit home premium on there, when really i wanted ultimate on there so i could use remote desktop connection to manage it from my laptop, but it just wouldnt have it, kept failing at 76%, any ideas on that, i even downloaded a fresh copy of win7 ultimate thinking the copy may have been corrupt but still didnt work 2nd time round, whats the best software for managing the server from another computer, and is that the best way.
