I wasn't whining about it having hiccups, merely asking if it was the SCSI that was the problem, or if I need to look at something else. I'm not used at the SCSI drives causing installation issues, only crappy windows. And btw: just because you know how to build a computer, doesn't mean you have the slightest about how to read or modify C code.
