However, at the moment I am reconfiguring my various computers and on this one decided to do a clean install, one problem I've encountered is that when I boot from the AM64 alternate cdrom 8,04,1 that it starts Ok but then when it comes to detecting the cdrom, even though it booted from the cdrom it can't find it. It seems that what is happening is that the system assigns the 4 IDE controllers to the HPT374 card and then has no channels left to assign to the mother board (to which the cdrom is attached) Hope this helps, Peter
