Correct me if I'm wrong, but hdc will only be relavent if you have a SCSI based system won't it? If your system is IDE based, hda,hdb,hdc etc. will be devices on the IDE controlers. If you have a SCSI card separatly, you need to use something else (scr0? I don't know, I'v been trying to get this to work for a while now...) Cheers, -Dan
