alright, to satisfy the question earlier, there wasn't any console information, the moniter was in sleep mode and wouldn't wake from it. second I went out and purchased a controller card(Hot Rod 66) which does support my harddrive(or drives up to 128 gigs). I am using the ata66 cables. the chipset is "HPT366 Ultra DMA66 IDE Controller". It's a pci bus card. this controller seems to work fine with my maxtor 13gig drive. Just occasionally panics on my maxtor 60 gig drive. I have an asus p5a motherboard I suppose this about solves my problem, I don't get the use of the ata66 mode, I just felt I would make these additional comments for anyone who was following the conversation -Darren On Sun, 21 Jan 2001, Adam wrote: > You didnt mention anything about what motherboard, ide controller, and > cables you are using..
