On reboot it forced the ATA100 travelstar drive to udma33 and atacontrol wouldn't up it. I swapped out the cable for a normal ata100 one and used a 2 dollar converter card on the back of the drive to convert 2.5" -> 3.5" - works fine now. -- 'And if you think you're going to bleed all over me you're even wronger than you normally be' -- The Specials, 'Little Bitch' Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns
