KDK: Thanks for the tip. I think I misunderstood what Legacy meant :) As a matter of fact, I don't see the hard drives in the BIOS anywhere! I know the company that put the computer together said they got XP running on it, so I tend to think it worked at one point. I'm downloading RedHat 8 right now to see if that will recognize the drives. Dan On Jan 31, 2004, at 11:35 AM, Kevin D.
