Frank/John,

In the bootlists go to the section that has the window modules and select 
the correct boot screen that you would like. Un comment the line out and 
run the mb_x file. This will recreate your system with the modules that you 
selected. Use another disk so that you can always go back.

Your welcome Frank and you are correct. The SuperIDE interface is fast. 
Amazing to watch.....
