hymm, this is interesting to me. the disk in question is an oooold ide disk. it is quantum 540 mb disk. i suspect it is the oldest drive, including the cdrom. in addition, if i were not seeing hdc already, i would not be as mystified. on the other hand, given that hdc is there, i would have expected hdd to be as well. am i missing something here??? -- regards, allen wayne best contractor, diagnostics and support tools telnet 447-4070 "your friendly neighborhood rambler owner" "my rambler will go from 0 to 105" Current date: 22:28:12::196:2001 Everybody needs a little love sometime; stop hacking and fall in love!
