Suggestion - keep all the added hardware out until you get a successful install. I used an Adaptec SCSI card and had regular problems with an internal drive attached. Transferred all the data onto a (much larger) EIDE and have been content. Haven't taken the time to fully troubleshoot the SCSI issue. Card in still in there; drives are out. Very few problems. Seriously. Strip down the beast; reformat the drive; install from proper CDs.
