Hello Lindsay,

on the NIC problem. I really appreciate it :-)

Yep I did it and it worked! :)

Mmm the funny thing is it did work with Primary IDE and dip switch as
slave. Well BIOS did NOT detected it but good ol' Linux did! :-)

CHS reports the correct figures :-) (dmesg and cfdisk) Mmm what do you
mean if that works I can transfer all the files in one go?
Oh BTW... :-) I have the boot option set on the partition of the IDE
drive... this is not meant (at least for now) to be a bootable HDD. Does
it matter that the boot flag is set? Does unsetting it and writing the
partition destroys all the data?
Thanx.
Dave
