	Mark if you go back to the beginning it is worse. He didn't tell us it
was a new mother board. The new HD is a SATA drive. Perhaps the new
mother board BIOS doesn't like IDE any more? He has a 1000 GB new hard
drive so I think the best thing to do is just get 9.04 working to his
satisfaction.

	Also he has a IDE CD drive. And the old HD is on a data cable as the
master or slave no-one can tell. The IDE CD drive I think is always
jumpered slave except when someone moves it. Also on NEW IDE things you
can jumper them for do not care.

	So lots is not clear.
