Thanks Brad for your prompt reply on this one,
I was just about to bite the bullet and do the whole lot again regardless,
but the extra space will give me just over a gig of slack which should do
nicely. I can get an extra 70 meg or so by moving the driver.cab cabinet
file to a data drive also.

Thanks again, I dont use hybernate anyway, so thats a good tip.
