Does this mean you have a tertiary drive controller, like on a sound card? Or did you remove one of the drives from the primary or secondary controllers. When you reinstalled the drive, did you install it in the same position or a different position, i.e., if it was originally installed as a primary drive, did you reinstall it as a primary drive? If it was originally a primary (or secondary) and you reinstalled it as a secondary (or primary), then you would need to change the jumper settings. What happens if you disconnect all of the other drives and try this as the only drive in the system (is it a bootable drive)? Answers to these questions will assist us in finding an answer for you. -- Larry Atlow Internet:[log in to unmask] Microcomputer Analyst Phonenet: (601) 264-9639
