<div>There are hardware considerations also. It might be the newer drive requires more power and doesn't have enough to run, or there might be a cable connection problem. See if you can power from a different connector line on the power supply and make sure all the cables are connected properly. See if you can see the drive light or hear it clicking when the machine turns on. If it's an O/S software problem, can you just do a new install over it using the Ubantu DVD or CD?</div> <div> </div> <div>XQuB1T</div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>Greg Simkins <gregsim@telerama.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">I purchased a 1U server unit with an ASUS K8N-DRE Motherboard outfitted <BR>with AMD Opteron Dual Processors.
