DO you plan to dual boot this machine or use just for Linux? If you plan to just run linux (which sounds best on this machine), you could try fdisk first, try reformatting the drive. Also, make sure that your system is not using EZ-BIOS to access the hard drive, I've heard Linux does not like this. If you resolve this, please let me know. I vaguely remember having this problem on an old computer I was playing arround with once. I never resolved the problem, though. I got busy with something else. I'll give it a ty again and see if I can figure it out. Good luckl. -Paul R -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dan A.

DRAX does not start, and there does not seem to be a way of getting past the error. I have tried creating a boot disk with the cd boot .img, but when using the boot disk, the computer does not see the CD-Rom drive. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
