I don't have anything attached to my second IDE port. Thanks problem solved for me anyway... === john bitar cruel@rocketmail.com ---"Donald E. Stidwell" <dstidwe@pilot.infi.net> wrote:

Apparently, if you have anything that is not a hard

to the secondary IDE port, this will happen. I have always had this "problem" with my ATAPI tape drive attached to the 2nd IDE port. This "problem" also manifested itself when I had my ATAPI Zip drive attached there.

Strangely, though, I moved my ATAPI Zip to my computer at work and attached it to the secondary port and that computer doesn't have this problem (it's an HP Vectra VL). So maybe it's something related to the BIOS.

Anyway, it's just a minor annoyance as it doesn't seem to affect performance in any way.
