Thanks Graham for your thoughts and reply.
I had all sorts of dramas last night on my first imaging run for the year, whilst I thought all was good in Nebulousity and Ezycap...I was wrong!
I was 20 minutes in, and Nebulousity and Ezycap froze up, not responding etc. MaximDL just would not load at all.
After rebooting etc and doing all of the normal's I decided to call it a night.
This morning I pulled the hard drive and re-imaged from an image I created last August. Hopefully this will fix my problems.
I will re-post here with the results at the next available opportunity.
Paul
