What kind of mobo are you using? -s ________________________________________________________________________ Believe it or not it's an old ABit BX6 revision 2 (ATA 33) that I have had since 1999. When I first put the new hard drive in I had to disable the BIOS auto detect until I was able to flash it but Mandrake 8.2 found it and identified it properly and I was able to take care of it. After the BIOS update I just ran the auto detect and booted. Didn't change a thing. The hard drive is supposed to be backwards compatible and this seems to be the case. It isn't working as an ATA 133 since the board isn't capable of utilizing it that way, but the ECS K7S5A that I installed the 40 GB on for my friend is running as an ATA 100. That board is supposed to be a nightmare from things I've read but his works acceptably well.
