Robert, I also have one of the Maxtor ATA 100 PCI cards. I don't have any serious problems with it. SuSE picks right up on it and calls the partitions on it hdeX. I might suggest moving the card to another PCI slot. I had trouble with the card conflicting with my sound card during OS installation (though the BIOS recognized the hard drive just fine). Moved it to the last slot on the board farthest from the AGP slot, using an Epox 8KTA+ MoBo. -Chris I am trying to install 7.3 on a 20 GB drive in a Dell Optiplex XM590. This system only recoginzes 8 GB of the drive with its build-in IDE controllers so I installed a Maxtor Ultra ATA/100 PCI IDE controller and turned off the internal controllers. The BIOS on the controller card recognizes the Hard drive and CD/Rom drive. However, the SuSE install program finds neither the CD/ROM or hard drive. Did not find anything in the SuSE Support DB. Any ideas for a solution are appreciated. Robert robertc@mindspring.com
