Did Vizion (Vizion <vizion@vizion.occoxmail.com>) solve the "TOP POSTING" on debian-question@debian.org or has this been the new area of operation? This individual has been hitting the lists HEAVY! Little problem solving, much posturing. As for the hard drive. I have found the Seagate drives to be MOST sensitve to their position on the IDE chain. As suggested, place the drive as master and attach to the END of the cable and try again.The other area to consider is the Seagate drive REALLY likes to be formatted with Seagate software. This is available at Seagate's web site, free for the download. Also, I know you have been very carfull not to disconnect the drive from the cable when the motherboard is powered. That will FRY the drive internals (I have never done that and hope I never will again!) That should do the trick!. Good Luck! Don
