Up to that stage it's all BIOS access. I don't know how good USB support from install evironment is - maybe you have to start it manually or you need some quirks. Boot messages about USB are welcome. Another option would be to do the remaining part of the installation from network and think about the drive after you've installed the OS - it'll make things much easier. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de ticso@bwct.de info@bwct.de
