"Hans, I'm pretty sure you're running into something else, because
you're running Guide 7. But it does remind me of something: you
should probably get the current Guide 7 software update. You
mentioned installing to the hard drive in the "old-fashioned" way,
by editing STARTUP.MAR. With the updated Guide 7 software,
you have the same "Extras... Copy to Hard Drive" function as
with Guide 8."
Yes i have that but i cant start Guide 7 without the CD put into the cd-rom.
