Nevertheless, a "disabled" setting for your ATAPI drives is > *always* appropriate and your safest option ... Auto has always worked fine for me. But perhaps the diffrence here lies in what "generation" of PCs we are talking about? I don't know if you guys really do it but it seems you are using 386/486s machines with new HDs/CDs... None of my ATAPI compliant CDs have ever had any problems being recognized by any BIOS I've had on any machine past my 486SX-25 (starting with a 486DX2-80 and an ATAPI capable 10X CD). Perhaps I've always done it wrong? //Bernie
