the information at start up may be useful, during the startup sequence, hit the "Pause" button ... usually next to your "Scroll Lock" ...

It is weird though. When I go to setup IDE devices, my DVD and CD-RW show up when in auto-mode, yet the primary master says none when in auto mode (I left it in auto mode like it was before.) When I boot up I get the GeForce ROM screen, then Phoenix BIOS, RAM check, keyboard/mouse check and DVD and CD-RW OK in one screen. Then in a screen that flashes by really fast that I could barely see in the top section was an Ultra66 Controller ROM or something like that. Then in another section I see four lines, and in the top line I made out LBA before it disappeared. I can't remember what was below. Just so you know, Windows 98 does boot up and detects the hard drive just fine. I don't know. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew McRobert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Debian-Users (E-mail)" <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Sent: Monday, June 19, 2000 8:20 PM Subject: RE: Get install to Recognize Hard Drive > ... is your BIOS set to auto-detect your HDDs ... and do they show up at > startup? > > tks > A > > -----Original Message----- > From: Cody Cutrer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2000 8:07 AM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Get install to Recognize Hard Drive > > > I can get all the different ways to boot into the install program to work, > but once there, it says I have no hard drive.
