Well, first the obvious question: What kind of cable do you have it hooked up with? Assuming you have the right cable, make sure you have it connected correctly. I had a problem like this once, and it turned out that I had put the cable on backwards. I had connected the end of the cable meant for the motherboard to the device (a disk, iirc), and visa-versa. I switched the cable around, and then it worked fine. Of course, I didn't discover this until after a few years, while I was in the process of replacing that PC! -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
