Then you have to make the LS-120 whatever device it is in the IDE chain. If it is connected as slave on the primary interface, it will be hdb. Then you write LILO to it, since you want it to boot. There may be other issues, but the main one is to set it to be the boot device in the BIOS. If your BIOS has no support for LS-120 as a boot disk, then you have to get a circuit card that will tell the bios that you have an LS-120 boot device. Those generally do not come with the LS-120. Else, you are out of luck and you treat the LS-120 as merely a removable hard drive device. -- Ramon Gandia ============= Sysadmin ============== Nook Net http://www.nook.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] 285 West First Avenue tel. 907-443-7575 P.O.
