I can't remember if the Dell BIOS has this option, but some BIOSs allow you to clear the PCI bus cache. That will trigger a full rescan of all the cards that are attached and could get it listed in the boot process again. If the BIOS doesn't have that option, you could try setting the BIOS clear jumper. -- -- Skylar Thompson (sky...@cs.earlham.edu) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/
