oh god! i put the old first hard disk (a 6 gigs quantum) on hde.. it hanged too Partition check: hde: hde1 hde2 hde3 ..... [HANG] i put it again on firs eide port (hda) and *DISCONNECTED* the new HD from hde. But not hda hangs too!!! Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 ..... [HANG] ???? I simply put the hard disk on first ata100 and back on first eide. Now it hangs... but it *worked* in this configuration before!! It's like it was "infected" when i connected it on hde... *Windows continue to starts well...* (i had a dual bot on quantum) What's happened? What's changed on quantum when i moved it on hde and back on hda?? -- -- Mario Libraro Fulltrading S.p.A. ------------------------------------ Sede di Roma: | Via Dora, 7 | 00198 Roma (RM) | :P Tel +39 06 8845203| Fax +39 06 8845227| ------------------------------------ Sede di Bari: Centro Direzionale Il Baricentro 70010 Casamassima (BA) Tel +39 080 6970153 Fax +39 080 4572485 Tech Support: 199 714 879
