--Well, it sorta worked. I swapped the drives, which was no problem for my Win partitions, but the new CD still would not work. When I hooked up my old CD as the sec. slave, I was able to boot to the installer, but disk druid would not let me partition /dev/hdc. What I did was to create the root partition in Linux- fdisk, I was then able to finish partitioning in Druid. The install went smooth as butter from that point. After linux was installed, I switched over to the new CD and shes-a-work beautiful. Go figure, huh! Any way thanks too you all who posted what seems to have been the same general suggestion. That helped me get back in the saddle. David P. Greenberg Bitco Electronics "In Service to the Recording Industry" *Confirmed Linux Newbie* **The pesimist sees the glass as half empty.
