The broken IDE cable was replaced ... I snt the replacement. She bought the computer from the girl who it was built for and I think both are as naive as the other. The original builder never gave any discs with his present ... she's in such a mess all round that finanacially she'll never get what she wants and she is so naive that she doesn't realise she will be on the rubbish heap but that's between you and I ..... I feel so bad that she will never come a working web designer.
