RE: Get install to Recognize Hard Drive
the information at start up may be useful, during the startup sequence, hit
the "Pause" button ... usually next to your "Scroll Lock" ...

Yes the BIOS is set to auto-detect my HD. It is weird though. When I go to
setup IDE devices, my DVD and CD-RW show up when in auto-mode, yet the
primary master says none when in auto mode (I left it in auto mode like it
was before.) When I boot up I get the GeForce ROM screen, then Phoenix BIOS,
RAM check, keyboard/mouse check and DVD and CD-RW OK in one screen. Then in
a screen that flashes by really fast that I could barely see in the top
section was an Ultra66 Controller ROM or something like that. Then in
another section I see four lines, and in the top line I made out LBA before
it disappeared. I can't remember what was below. Just so you know, Windows
98 does boot up and detects the hard drive just fine. I don't know.
