I would suggest checking where the error message indicated. (Unfortunately it requires sighted assistance.) But it is a clear indication when to hit CTRL-A on the pre-boot screen and typically lasts about 2 seconds. Though I don't remember the exact layout of their BIOS, it is pretty straight forward and I had no trouble even the first time in. Seems there is an option to view the settings and then it gives a list of devices. After selecting your device, you hit Enter and it shows the settings. There should be a setting on whether the card is terminated or not. Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net ------------------ Why can't you be a non-conformist, like everybody else?
