Perhaps your CD is dying, dirty, or the cable > is slightly pulled off? No, no and no. It went the same way with about 7 different CD's (after cleaning) and 3 different cables. Anyway, this is all a little academic now since I have just purchased a new TX motherboard along with a Cyrix 200 M2 and the motherboard has 2 IDE controllers on it instead of one. Not that Windows will work now, mind you. It steadfastly refuses to ignore the disabled IDE controller on the sound card and refuses to ackowledge the CDROM. Sheesh, I think I'll stick to FreeBSD and NT! Thanks anyway. :) - -Taff Aled Treharne felix@royal.net "Big Bird meets Salvador Dali has been brought to you by the numbers L and ), and by the letter 3."
