Thanks for the replies guys...

I tried doing what you said Mick, but it didn't work

The devices were listed as 'use DMA if available', but they were both using PIO mode. I have two HDDs in here 1x810MB and 1x540MB, both old and certainly not ATA standard.
However, in frustration I tried a couple of things but I am not sure which one actually did it.

I changed the SIS ATAPI driver to a standard IDE dual channel thingy. Changed the cd rom driver to a standard cd rom, went into bios and selected plug and pray OS as 'NO', rebooted, and it now works.

Now to load FAD on it, and there is another little cruncher

Thanks again...
