May have a solution, if the inet ever speeds up enough to download today
Will download to flash drive along with unetbootin-windows-243 and try and run it of the flash. That should do away with any IDE issues. Besides on this version I don't see where to do the "all ide stuff".
There is another program, I'll get it later - tooo many window open at the moment with """KEY""" info to look now - but it takes The files into an open windows partition and then you can manipulate it into its own space.
Seems like a lot of work to play with linux but what the hey....
full details later IF it works
