I'm sure you can see where I isolated a certain line above? There's a reason for that and for the difficulty you're having with this machine: Cable Select SUCKS and won't ever work properly in my experience. Pick a master and slave drive for each channel and run the auto detect or feed the BIOS the *correct information for each drive* and this problem will go away. Just to re-iterate: _cable select is crap and likely to cause grief on disks where GNU/Linux is being installed._ Regards and good luck. -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org Men still remember the first kiss after women have forgotten the last.
