Hi and sorry I have not responded until now. I'm on a kind of back up box and just loaded red hat in to it. The box in question had it's own thoughts on running. Heck I'm not sure what happened, but I went to reboot and it will start to post but will not even get to checking for hard drivers. It's not software related anymore and most likely hardware. But hey I really want to thank you all for all the help. With one post I got more an one answer. It's all good.
