You should make sure the SCSI is enabled. If the SCSI is enabled you should get a message from the SCSI BIOS to hit some keys to enter the SCSI configuration. This is all using the Motherboards firmware and independent of any Operating System. You should be able to check your SCSI configuration and see what SCSI devices the controller has found. If your CD is not found, check the settings, termination and cabling. -Derek At 08:58 PM 3/3/2006, David LeCount wrote: >I recently purchased a Tyan S2895 motherboard and more >recently a Hitachi SCSI drive.
