Re: installation



Doh, mixed up my ata's! I was digging around at asus's site recently, and looked at that board. But I forgot about the ata100, and so I thought your problem was ata66 wasn't working. Like joonas, I haven't used it, but I remember reading about the ata100 patch a while back. It is supposed to work well.
