Just to add my comments, I installed 8.1 (once) using a SCSI drive as the main drive and an ATAPI partitioned as /user and /home/foobar. It worked beautifully.. Then I got too big fer me britches and ended up having to reinstall. OK, NOOOO prob, I sez, same system with no changes. After completing the install I had the exact same problems outlined above. Removed the ATAPI drive, reinstalled and every thing was OK <????> wierd!!! So any light on this would help several of us, Thanks all... -- Ken Thompson, North West Antique Autos Payette, Idaho Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nwaa.com Sales and brokering of antique autos and parts.
