If you don't have an IDE disk on your system there are two options: 1. Get one (it can be any old scrap metal that speaks IDE). 2. Use a SCSI CDROM (I assume that you're using SCSI for your hard disks if you don't have EIDE disks). > > I also had a try of mount, and a msg 'device not configured' returned. > > // Donny > Nadav
