Hi Ding

This sounds like the infamous "Click of Death".

You can find out more about this at <http://grc.com/codfaq1.htm>.
(I'm sure there are many places to read about the Click of Death,
but this website came to my mind because I own Steve Gibson's
Spinrite 5 disk utility. I'm not suggesting you should buy any
products here...it's just that I believe the information at
<http://grc.com/> to be accurate. (I myself don't have any Zip
drives.)

Glad you solved your boot problem with the Abit BE6 and your
Ultra2 SCSI drive.

Regards,
Bill
