Probably missing obvious. Thanks for help in advance. I know this sounds stupid (slap me for sounding patronising if i do, I'm sorry), but have you got an 80-conductor ATA66 (or ATA100) cable, rather than a 40 (or possibly 41) conductor ATA33 (or below) cable? Sorry again if i'm stating the obvious here, but i know all too well what it's like to not realise the little things :+) Hope this helps, Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
