I like this software (I have the latest version as of 9/13/05) it worked
well on my Dell GX280s, but I cannot get it to finish booting on the GX520s=

I recently purchased 100 of these machines and I am having the same issue a=
s
Pioneerland. It gets up to the line- "wd0 at atabus1 drive 0" and hangs. If
you need more information (I am sure you will I just do not know what kind
of information you need from me) just ask me. Thank you for your assistance=
