T That's spot on. According to Windows the Promise Ultra uses IRQ 20 but that's after Windows has finished moving things around. It's ironic that Windows only recognises the built in IDE until the Promise drivers are installed and with Mandrake only the Promise Ultra is recognised! I booted to a Slackware CD and that recognises all the disks so it's something a bit odd in Mandrake I think?
