I'm not sure it has a normal IDE connector, though. It may only have a laptop CD-ROM IDE connector. If you don't have the CD-ROM and can't find an ordinary 40-pin IDE connector on the mainboard, you'll have to boot it over the network to install. This is slightly documented by me and alm@sirius.net.au in two posts to this list dated 2005-07-27. I can forward you a copy if you need it. --pgp-sign-Multipart_Thu_Oct__5_16:24:52_2006-1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (NetBSD) iQCVAwUARSVqH4nCBbTaW/4dAQLAlQP+LqX3/3Ovr7mpsKnwuSfk7Sf8pduBNuct TdsgalVM5Qv6qisuAfidkyY65cikJc9xfmygekNRebcNWxCYAWOtegM1MO7+7z/9 zPTh0WXQiYZyQCTmnRUzRhTG5toFvTnetjs2LHgbfVFsKbl6Prz79BXBr8jBEdhA 2eoWdEKq+60= =vkZp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pgp-sign-Multipart_Thu_Oct__5_16:24:52_2006-1--
