turn off & unplug computer, swap the drives around (set the current master to slave and slave to master) plug computer back in, turn on and hit F2 on startup go to Boot sequence and move your CD Rom drive to the top of the list and follow the on-screen instructions (i have just had to do this because i had a problem and couldnt do repair install so i lost everything)
