Well this partially worked. I went into /usr/share/doc/packages/hdparm which includes the shell scripts idectl and ultrabayd, which i used the idectl script to turn off the ide bay so that i could remove it and that worked great. here is the command used "idectl 1 off". Now when i put the new device into the bay and issue the command "idectl 1 on" it does not turn it back on and give this error "/dev/hdc: No such file or directory". Why would /dev/hdc be missing and why is it calling it when i issue the on option of the script. I am thinking that there is something wrong with the script i may have to issues some hdparm command instead. -Cameron --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
