But in all likelyhood you shouldn't have a problem. Just out of curiousity, and my apologies for eaves dropping :), when I run hdparm -i /dev/hda, it diplays the possible modes. Now, I'm just guessing, and please let me know if I'm right or wrong here, but the mode with the asterisk beside it is the current mode in use correct? If so, /dev/hda is running udma2, and /dev/hdb is running mdma2. Also, I have discovered that hdparm doesn't work on SCSI drives, is there anything comparable for those? Thanks for the tidbits, you may not think it much, but I've been steadily jotting down all the little handy commands I've seen on here for the past two weeks or so. Cheers There's plenty of semicolons to go around
