The message from bios was no hd detected. I read manual (came with disk) set jumbers to fool bios to think was 32mb drive turned it on and it booted into mandrak. Thanks for your help. Now trying to figure out how to access ZIP-100 drive. Error <2> You do not have access rights to this location. Need to change permissions (don't know how yet). Once again thanks for your help.
