On returning to the system today I found I had clobbered the
partition table in the tired wee hours during my last effort.
Fortunately I had Ghosted the installation before the troubles.
I deleted the partition and started fresh using the image and
all is well. Everything is clean including the floppies. Did
not get a chance to use Multi-AV but have saved it and your
instructions should this ever appear again.
Thanks again David
