Heatshrinking is old school, now you just get a PSU with prewrapped cables, you can just about see them on mine.

Yeah, I have mine prewrapped too, it's the black and red cable on the far right with the pink thing on it (which is actually red.. :erm: ).

Heh, all of the cables coming out of my PSU are pre-wrapped, the ones going to the drives, motherboard, sound card, video card .. all of 'em.

Hmm, that's useful.
Which PSU is that? I have an Antec Truepower 550W I think.
I might go to Maplin in the near future and pick up some wrap, it does look a bit messy in there.

EDIT - This may help...

Linky1...
Linky2...

i followed the F6 driver install and everything went fine during a clean install.The only problem is my hard drive now reads E.
I have tried to rename it using admin tools in XP but it won't let me.Any ideas please anyone?
