You might check with FDISK and make sure one of your paritions is marked as "active". You might have a smart BIOS that doesn't spit out the Missing Operating System message. What size of disk do you have, and does your BIOS support EIDE? > Also > are you planning on supporting the Teac 4x CDROM in future releases? I seem to remember something about Teac not providing specs, so I don't think so. I would really love it since I have one of these too (which is getting dumped for SCSI and a Plextor next week).
