2 installs later, one with the bios in IDE emulation and one with it in AHCI. The bios can find the disk, but not as bootable, so it jumps straight to a pass at establishing a network boot using DHCP. I set the wait on HD up to 10 seconds, but the DCHP attempt comes up long before the 10 seconds is up. So the other drive is likely still good too. Suggestions? I'll go see if it will do a boot for a live session just to see if the drive is there, but I need to find a copy of gparted and make it bootable. Weird. the drive might be too big at 2Tb. I don't like it that the board may have died. We can't buy some more of those. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
