I am now watching an install (4.2) happen. The ATA100 drive is hooked up to the Promise controler, here's what I did: Disabled the parallel port. Once I did that, it told me it couldn't find the parallel port, then spit out non-identities for ata1-4, then went smoothly into the install. I hope I can turn the parallel port back on once everything is installed.... Jeffrey J.
