Did Vizion (Vizion <vizion@vizion.occoxmail.com>) solve the "TOP POSTING" on 
debian-question@debian.org or has this been the new area of operation? This 
individual has been hitting the lists HEAVY! Little problem solving, much 
posturing.

As for the hard drive. I have found the Seagate drives to be MOST sensitve to 
their position on the IDE chain. As suggested, place the drive as master and 
attach to the END of the cable and try again.The other area to consider is 
the Seagate drive REALLY likes to be formatted with Seagate software. This is 
available at Seagate's web site, free for the download. Also, I know you have 
been very carfull not to disconnect the drive from the cable when the 
motherboard is powered. That will FRY the drive internals (I have never done 
that and hope I never will again!) That should do the trick!. Good Luck!
