Thanks for the info. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. Here's my setup PC Chips M920 MB, Western Digital 4GB, Western Digital 40GB, GeForce 2, 2-512MB Crucial DDR PC2100, Generic CD Rom, Yamaha CDRW I'm trying to install to the 4BG drive only. Should I contact the MB vendor and ask for support?
