[Graham Shirville]

Hi all,

I am at present trying to configure 2 817s and SATPc32 with a Samsung N150 
windows 7 32bit starter edition netbook and some CT62 equivalent interface 
cables using the Prolific chipset.

I cannot claim that I yet have success but the one major lesson learnt last 
night (late) was that you have to install all the software and drivers by 
clicking on "run as administrator" -maybe obvious and already well written 
up but I had missed it:)
