Simply do a: dmseg > /tmp/dmesg_dump.txt and copy dmesg_dump.txt to a floppy, didn't work, I can mount /dev/df0 (yeah!) but got other bad super block errors (even after formatting the floppy). Anyway I scanned dmesg and found this: ata1-slave: ata_command: timeout waiting for intr identify failed That would seem to fit with the FAQ that mentioned that CDROM may, for some reason, not be visible on the bus. 'cdcontrol' didn't work either. I have an older CD ROM somewhere, I think I'll stick that in and see if that works. Thanks to everyone for their help! : ) Regards Eddie ===== -- consume - be silent - die __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
