Since I can boot to it, the BIOS should have correct setting for the drive right? I dunno... I only have FreeBSD on this harddrive, maybe I can just get rid of the booter? I have no idea how to do that though... I guess that shoudln't be hard to lookup... still, it's weird that it stopped working all the sudden. /ayn On Wed, 2002-11-20 at 22:12, Mark A-J.
