Already tried that with no success. Another fallback here is that the quantum drive is one of the new ultra ata types..yeah it's nice and fast..but so far..only for win95. The motherboard ide isnt fully compat with ultra ata and has a minor conflict which causes the drive d to be assigned to a non existant device (yes, in windows). So my hd now has drives c,e,f instead of c,d,e. Gateway acknowledged this bug and is working with intel on it however since the drive was designed for the ultra ata controller, they arent putting any real effort into it. Since the probe is detecting the ultra33 card as a valid pci pnp device, I'm assuming there is a way to make it recognize the drive itself..the other reason for wanting the ultra33 card is that it supports lba and I will not have the 1024 cylinder limitation. If anyone has any far reaches..let me know. I'm willing to test pretty much anything on this machine. I have the drive backed up and I'm still well covered under warranty and on site service should anything happen *shrug*. Steve
