Thanks for the info! I'm going to Cc: the list now, in case someone else
is having issues.
My drives are 1 and 2 as well, as a matter of fact, I've tried them
everywhere. No matter what, after install, I get the blinking cursor.
I'm going to try to get a chance this aft to play around again, and I'll
let you know what I find. If it doesn't work, we can compare BIOS
settings.
Regards,
Steve
