NO.  The Secondary Bus Master IDE Controller has the ! on it but I don't use
it anyway.  Also under System Devices there are two entries for IDE Bus.
The second on has an !.  I can't seem to get rid of them.

I user the program from PowerQuest called DRIVE COPY.  No I haven't reloaded
from CD yet But I will this week.

I took the intire machine to the dealer I purchased the MOBO from and the
replaced it, and the video board that I got there also.  The MOBO went bad
and they fried the video while I was there watching.  Smoke but no fire, boy
were they embaressed.

I did.  Yes everything was correct according to the distributor and the book
that came with the MOBO.  I knew this.  Thanks for all your suggestions and
help.  I still don't know where in the BIOS to set up L2 cache.
