I think a PPro 200 is probably 1995 or later. :) OK, I stand corrected. Juan, BTW, just a shot in the dark: what kind of motherboard do you have? Could you check on the net if a BIOS upgrade is available for your motherboard? I had a similar problem when I first got a 40 GB disk (my ASUS motherboard only supported 32 GB disks, and hung during POST if it found a larger disk), but a BIOS upgrade fixed that (though I didn't know until I contacted ASUS, because it wasn't listed on the support page for my motherboard) DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - des_at_des.noReceived on Fri Jan 16 2004 - 13:44:17 UTC
