after checking the cable to the hard drive it was the 80 wire 40 pin, in good shape I pulled everything but the hard drive and booted, it fixed it, the cdrom that I had setup as the slave on the ide0 bus seems to be conflicting, so I set up the cdrom and zip on the second bus and marked the ide0 slave as "not installed" in bios. The UDMA ICRC errorer is gone and I now have UDMA 100 everything related to storage works well now :>) the printer is of no concern at this point as I havn't even tried to get it going yet, when I start working with it I will read everything I can get my hands on as far as my other questions I will ask about one subject at a time from now on. thanks from, Larry _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
