As is normally the way, I've answered my own question. It seems that the 
ISO file on \\software is the HFS+ partition only, not the full hybrid 
disk and doesn't include the ISO partition with the Windows drivers on. 
Can anyone confirm this, and where can I get the bits from the missing 
partition from?

Cheers,

Tom.
