Hi Simon,

I did consider that, but after it was too late. Having said that, when it was 
completing it's post installation setup tasks, the DVD was not being used so 
I doubt it will have made any difference.

I have no idea how long it took, but after 2+ hours of it saying performing 
post-install I got chucked out by security and went home.

Thankfully, when I got in this morning it had completed successfully, and 
appears to be working fine and at normal speed after rebooting to complete 
the install
