Try LILO...? If you have more harddrives, where is Grub on? You must change that in your bios?
The grub works once I get to the HD. The other drives from the old PIII died untimely deaths possibily caused by a faulty power supply.
Only two drives survive that system the floppy and DVDRW. Powering them off does not prevent the boot problem. Looks like the bios just does not want to work correctly in spite of being told to boot from HD. --
I suppose you haven't installed a drive LARGER than the bios can handle. bios's do have limits and set for what is expected to be a maximum at the time even when lba is set there is usually a maximum blocks it can handle
check the spec's with the manufacturers site, if not found send them a message, most are happy to provide this information and if it's firmware upgradable will point you in the right direction.
It is only 80 gig on a P4 by Micro Solutions International. I did not find a mention of such limits in the MB book. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
