That should be correct. If the drive is not being recognized, it's probably a hardware issue. You do have the controller enabled in the BIOS, do you? The answers about "have you created the devices" are bogus. At boot time the drive should be recognized whether or not you have the device nodes. You'll need the device nodes in order to access them, of course. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply.
