Sorry I don't know how I missed it

, anyway you would be much better off with 98 or 2000, ME is a REALLY bad OS.

WIN ME HAS BEEN INSTALLED. (WITH A PROBLEM).

...i got into the bios and enabled a setting that would allow some programs (as the explanation says it) to work with the sata hd....

....i formatted the entire disk as a fat32 and the os actually went in!......however, here is the problem;

.......i can see the "a" drive but not the dvd or the dvd/cd-rw drive at all which would make loading the drivers to make "me" work impossible....how do i get around this w/out having to restructure any existing file entries which i am totally w/ knowledge?.
