Re: Get install to Recognize Hard Drive



Did not know there was any use for that pause key. Now I know. Here is that
last screen I couldn't see:

    Ultra66 (tm) BIOS Version 1.12 (Build 0518)
    (c) 1998-1999 Promise Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.

    D0  IBM-DPTA-372730   LBA     26105MB  Ultra DMA 4
    D1  Not Detected
    D2  Not Detected
    D3  Not Detected

    IDE BUS Master Enabled

That is the third screen, character-for-character, space-for-space. Now
maybe you can help me some more. Thanks.
