Hi

I have resolved my problems. I used a different machine to install Linux Mint on this hard drive then popped it in the Umax laptop.

It boots and works no problem. Everything working including wireless and sound and is pretty quick too.

Secondly, yes I do have to work with what I have and other than my laptop which I used webmail for Windows Live mail I use a Sony Ericsson P990i with its built in mail client to access my Windows Live mail account.
