What part are you talking about with the award bios? This depends a lot on your setup. My boot disk is running standard mode but my extra 2G is dangerously dedicated and the world is a happy place. I did run into trouble when I was playing with an IDE disk in dangerously dedicated mode; I had a note to the effect of `no dedicated boot disks' in the diskformat tutorial, but Greg Lemis encouraged me to remove the ref, so I did. Perhaps a YMMV is appropriate. Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
