    Working... spent all day trying to ghost an old NT4 disk that we have lost the build for and no matter what I tried it wouldn't boot.

    I was supposed to know about how HP's bios handles the NT mbr slightly differently to IBM's... only took 6 hours for the penny to drop.

    Got another 6 months though.

    There's no rush though mate, we don't have any genuine project managers on my current gig so I think I'm safe for now.
    So you never overegg your estimates now???
