hmmmm. Is the 3rd HDD the master on the secondary channel or the slave? I
think it should be the master if you have a CDROM on the secondary
channel. (I don't remember the details from your original message)

I really don't think that MS is responsible in this case. (My machine dual
boots to W95 & RH6.2 via lilo without a hitch) Can you use an install disk
to get started? Once the install starts, you can then switch consoles
(alt-F2, alt-F3...)until you get a root prompt ("#"). At that point, make
a directory and try to mount your root partition there:
#pwd
/
#mkdir /trash
#mount /dev/hd?? /trash
(you will have to fill in the 2 question marks with the drive & partition
of the root file system. For example, if you have the / partition on the
second partition of the disk on the secondary ide controller, then the 2
question marks would be replaced with 'd2'. Does this help?
