Hi,

Managed to successfully loose the contents of all my HD's the other night,
and whilst i re-installed everything in the end i have a couple of
questions.

I have a 2x4x CDRW as my Secondry master (hdc) and a 5x32x DVD as my
secondry slave (hdd). Obviously i wanted to install usinmg the DVD drive as
it's way quicker, but try as i might i couldn't get the Mandrake install to
find it. Is this because it's a DVD or is it just default that when a CD
isn't found in HDC it doesn't bother looking at HDD.

Could my install think it's a hard disk as on bootup i get 'starting hard
disk optimizations' for hda, hdb AND hdd !!

If either of my ussumptions are correct, can this behaviour be overridden
with any options in LILO ?

Thanks again !!

Martin.
