It'd also be nice to find out how many tracks are on a given hard drive and how many hard drives there are. Im guessing this will have to be done using some inline assembly or someething but I have no idea how to go about doing that. I'm hopeing to build an amateur laser light show :) Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks kvcurtis AT iland DOT net
