Thus I checked my CD and found it configured as slave. I changed it to master and put it again on the secondary port as master, and it worked fine though it gives the following bootup message : atapi1.0 unknown phase. I don't think it's serious, but I thought I should tell this Thanks again for the concern Haytham ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Haytham Abd-Alsalam Algyndy Dept. of Elec. and Comp.
