I know that; well I wasn't sure that nobody did have an IDE disk, but
so it shall be.

I honestly wasn't intending to flame you at all. You seem to take this
as an offense. I apoligize for being unclear. I know that all you guys
are doing a tremendous job without any payment. I cannot fix this (at
least not right now) myself because of lack of time and resources (you
really need a spare disk if you want to f**k around with the disk
driver).

I just want to make other people with IDE drives aware of the problem
so they know what to look after; maybe *someone* can narrow this bug
down and supply a fix.
