Have you checked the power steering fluid? Never heard of a belt making a creak unless the pulleys shot

yeah the fluid is fine, got the rack changed a couple of months ago too. I didn't think it would be the belt to be honest although it does lok a bit worn so will change anyway...what else could it be a the creak is there when the car is  moving or not.
