Hell, listers! I know some of you, especially Kerry, are big hardware specialists. Hope you will be able to advise something for me this time as well. I am putting together a new machine. Whenever I connect the hard drive to the IDE0 and CDROM to IDE1, both on master, I get "hard disk failed...", but CDROM is found. However, if I connect hard drive to IDE1 and CDROM to IDE0, both to master, then both are recognized fine. Why is this hapenning? I tried these combinations several times, and the same result comes out. Can you suggest something? Victor
