Hello Lindsay, have you read my latest good news! :-] BTW thanks alot for all the help on the NIC problem. I really appreciate it :-)

Mmm the funny thing is it did work with Primary IDE and dip switch as slave. Well BIOS did NOT detected it but good ol' Linux did! :-) > Just check with dmesg - look for CHS and check that the figures are > correct. Also run cfdisk /dev/hda and check CHS again. If this works you > can transfer all the files you like in one go. <grin> CHS reports the correct figures :-) (dmesg and cfdisk) Mmm what do you mean if that works I can transfer all the files in one go? Oh BTW... :-) I have the boot option set on the partition of the IDE drive... this is not meant (at least for now) to be a bootable HDD. Does it matter that the boot flag is set? Does unsetting it and writing the partition destroys all the data? Thanx. Dave -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
