Hi Doug. Since like I said in my last message it was reading the zip disk, I figured I would remove the zip disk and see what would happen. I did, and went to install FreeBSD. Right before the screen where it usually goes to fdisk, it instead said: "NO DISKS FOUND! Please verify that your disk conroller is being properly probed at boot time. See the Hardware Guide on the Documentation menu for clues in diagnosing this type of problem" Well, I did that. And I checked to see if there were any conflicts with anything called "disk controller" in the kernel config, and there aren't. Also, I saw in the doc that wdc# things have to do with disk controllers. So I watched the screen at boot up, and it says: wdc0 not found at 0x1f0 wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa I don't know what that means, but maybe it will help. Please tell me any suggestions so that it will read my hdd. Thank you..Jason Sabella --- Doug White wrote: > > On Fri, 3 Apr 1998, Jason Sabella wrote: > > > Hi Doug.
