Probably missing obvious. Thanks for help in advance. : :I know this sounds stupid (slap me for sounding patronising if i do, I'm sorry), but have :you got an 80-conductor ATA66 (or ATA100) cable, rather than a 40 (or possibly 41) :conductor ATA33 (or below) cable? And that's not on backwards? It's possible for ata 66 to work with the wrong cable; it's not reliable. The ATA driver is much more paranoid about things like this than many other OS's drivers seem to be. -- dscheidt@tumbolia.com Bipedalism is only a fad.
