Plus about 40 lines of hex and numbers..
Without the drivers installed the Divx's and Xvids play ok but with them the colours are all wrong.
The other File system drives are all NTFS so that's the problem, I've had a look around but as I'm new to it it's a bit of a learning curve before I can have a go at sorting it. It's not a big issue to be honest but I'd like to get it reading/writing NTFS partitions just for completeness.
Thanks.
