Make sure you have recent BIOS updates (I've gone as big as 120GB on a
BX.) Make sure the drives are set to either master

2) Your harddisk is having problems with UDMA negotiation. While UDMA is
backwards compatible, there was a bug in the old implementations where it
would hang while negotiating. Download the UDMA utilities from your
hardware vendor to hardlock the UDMA to some value that is support
thanks, did not think to negotiate the UDMA down in the
bios.
going to attempt a hot flash but have not had good luck in recent years
with those. not sure why I want to do this, for grins I guess.
bios flash should have worked, I have done a baziilion of those with zero
problems, guess bin was

Don't really need a whole gig. Small fileserver is running on a puny P3-450
(yes, Katmai :P)
w/512MB RAM. Runs XP pretty smoothly.

Sure, it will run on a lot less but the extra just give it that super

LOL, true that. But I don't really notice a huge difference between 512MB
and 1GB
for general use. Throw recent games into the mix (Far Cry, UT2004, D3, etc)
