I would guess that this is being cause by an IRQ conflict, I ran into the same issue a while back. Check that the bios can properly detect both your CDROM drive and hard drive, then check the jumpers on both devices, if needed try putting just the hard drive on the IDE0 primary channel and the CDROM drive on the IDE1 primary channel. if all else fails try cable select, and remember to be creative when switching the drives around with cable select. =) good luck! * * * * * * * * Matt (@) drama@slakin.net (w) http://slakin.net.
