Nope, no bad drive but you were right about grub not seeing the drive. DO NOT EVER change the ide driver and forget to change it back. It took a long time to decide that I should actually read the boot info off the screen and figure out that I now had all scsi drives. It was then a simple matter of giving grub the right info so it would boot and, once booted, I changed that damned driver back. Oops! Thanks, all, for the help.
