First, I dpn't have a hda - I think that's something to do with the unusual setup on this mobo, which has the usual 2 IDE interfaces + 2 UDMA interfaces with a software Promise controller. My hard drives are listed as hde and hdf. Windows is on hde1, and Mdk 9.0 is on hdf1. With that in mind, could you please spell it out again? Sorry if I'm being obtuse, but I really do want to understand. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
