Thomas, I downloaded the latest stable floppies, did a low-level format of the floppies, then dd'd the images to them. Again, the same problem. Is there any special hardware or BIOS manipulations I need to do? The error looks related to the primary IDE controller, but I can't tell what specifically it is. Again, the machine is a HP Kayak XA 333 (w/ 66 MHz I/O bus). Thanks. Joe Clarke -- Joe Clarke, CE | | Customer Support Engineer ||||| ||||| Phone: (919) 472-2867 ..:|||||||||::|||||||||:..
