Well, it's just too early in the morning.... need
coffee
I double double checked cabling and to my surprise
they were switched. Strange that the bios wouldn't
throw a fit with the devices not being correct, but
anyway. HDA is the first hard drive, HDB is the
second hard drive and HDC is the CDROM... as it should
be.
Thanks to All anyway,
Rob
