The sbpcd driver is for Creative's proprietary CD-ROM interface to a range of drives made by Panasonic (and a variety of compatible ones), not for IDE ones attached to one of their cards. I've only seen ATAPI CD-ROMs going when attached to the motherboard's IDE interface. Do you have a spare controller, or space for a second drive on your IDE controller? -- Carey Evans http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ GNU GPL: "The Source will be with you... always." -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
