This is a custom built computer, so I'll have to ask the guy who built it if he can explain what the MDK installation was seeing. >> Should I even worry about this if I'm quite sure of "hdb" being my >> 20 GB drive? > I wouldn't. As long as I can be very sure that I'm only messing with my 20 GB drive, I'll be happy to stumble through some more trial and error myself, because if all I mess up is the fresh drive with no essential data on it yet, I can always just start over. However, there's another thing I'll have to decide with regards to how worried I should be about performing the installation without expert supervision... The starter guide also suggests possibly changing a setting or two in the BIOS in order to make the installation smoother for MDK. Since the BIOS is, as far as I understand it (which may not be very far), a system wide setting (affecting both hard drives, no?), I want to be especially careful messing about in there. At this point, it is this BIOS thing as much as anything else that concerns me. The adventure continues... - -- Melissa PGP public keys: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Body=Please%20send%20keys -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE/unvXjVbXUvsE8ukRAlgGAKDDhrlEP2uSHA8kuNuzlvN/PtYgmgCcDx97 HU080QYBNizHG438HMAFJ7A= =zn4G -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
