For both IDE and SATA DVD drives there is *nothing* special required on the Linux side. Check SATA and power cable connections first. Boot into BIOS and see if BIOS is reporting the device. If not then *stop* and then get the new drive exchanged for a functional one. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
