Boot from a disk tools floppy; I'll bet the HDD doesn't show then either. What brand/model is the drive? You can usually look up the drives on the manufacturer home page to determine settings. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
