SUPRISE! See somebody did answer. Now peel yourself off the floor and lets continue... I doubt very much that this is a problem with linux and relates more to your SATA controller chipset. Most chipsets assume that you'd only connect a harddrive and therefore only support harddrives. What is your SATA controller chipset? If you've got more than one kind have you tried on the other? BTW, I know this to be true because I wanted to buy a plextor CD drive and found out it was incompatible with my motherboards SATA chipsets :-( -- Robert "roach" Spencer Pietermaritzburg South Africa -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
