April, You should be able to set the IRQ that the Adaptec BIOS requests at boot-time, in the Adaptec EEPROM. I forget what Adaptec calls it, but hit Ctrl-A when it asks, and then set adapter options. IIRC, the default IRQ is either 11 or 7. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
