Thanks enormously ! -- that's the solution (ATA_PIIX). I'm surprised that the newer mobo (G41) dropped support for AHCI which the older mobo (G33) had, but it shouldn't make much difference & I'm planning to build an upto-date machine later in the year. So I'm now able to operate normally in the 2007 machine, but it still has a problem with Eth0, which hopefully wb easier to fix: this is being sent from the 2003 machine, which chugs along adequately. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
